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

Please help our class get books for our classroom library so students can read books at their level and find how magical reading can be. Students will be able to...

1.

Pick books every day that they can take home to read.

2. Find books at their level to help improve their reading fluency and comprehension.

3. Find a series or books that they love so they not only learn how to read by truly love to read!

We had students go "shopping" and requests books they would love to see in our classroom library. Our goal is to provide students with books they can read and checkout daily to take home and improve literacy both at school and at home.
