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

These books will support students with their reading skills and allow them to choose books at their level. This will be a great addition to our classroom library that is in need of books to support the needs of all students. I would like to see my students build confidence in their reading skills and be reading independently by the end of the school year.

I would like for my students to have access to books and other tools that will help them be successful.

These reading materials will significantly improve and impact my students' reading engagement. As students increase their ability to read, it will also support their writing skills.
