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.

This collection of children’s literature would be a beautiful addition to our kindergarten classroom library.
The books chosen are classic titles that have beautiful storylines and illustrations.
For example, Make Way For Ducklings is about a family of ducks looking for a home in the city of Boston. When Mr. and Mrs. Mallard target the Public Garden as their new home, they are driven away by the dangers they discover as bicycles zoom past them across the sidewalk. Mrs. Mallard is so content to have her babies on a small island in the Charles River.
She befriends a police officer who often feeds her and her babies. Toward the end of the story, Mr. Mallard leaves the family to have a better look "down river." He promises to meet Mrs. Mallard and their babies at the Public Garden. In his absence, Mrs. Mallard teaches the ducklings to swim and care for themselves.
Finally, she leads them, with the help of her friend, police officer Michael, and other police officers, through the busy streets of Boston to the Garden. When they reach their destination, Mr. Mallard is waiting for them. The ducklings enjoy the Public Garden so much that the family decides to make it their new home.
All of the books selected have special storylines that children will love!
