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

March Book Madness is a national reading competition similar to the college basketball March Madness tournament. These books are currently available in our school library but with the number of students in our school, it will get difficult for my students to have an opportunity to read a range of the March Madness titles.

Having these books in my classroom will give students easy access to get them ready to participate in the upcoming competition.

These books would benefit all my students as it would give them the opportunity to be exposed to new relevant novels and help choose a winner for the national competition!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
