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

My classroom library is a place that my students will really enjoy to read. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they will be thankful for the opportunities to read. My students love Nonfiction books. Especially when they are about people that made an impact on the world.

These books will help show the kids about past leaders and also help to inspire them to make a difference themselves.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My goal is to help show the kids that anyone can help to make the world a better place.
