Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

A giant cat named Crenshaw? And he is imagined? What could all of this mean for the young protagonist in Katherine Applegate's novel? And so our young protagonist ponders: “Back in the old days, when we always had food in the house, I would whine if we were out of my favorite stuff. But lately we’ve been running out of everything.” Has Crenshaw appeared to help ease the reality of life? Applegate's novel explores the hardships of life, to which many of our students can relate. The novel also explores the way that love and friendship matters, whether real or imagined.
