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 Students

My classroom is full of energetic third graders that are eager to learn something new each day. My students work extremely hard and take pride in their school and their work.

My hardworking students thrive in a learning community enriched with engaging books and activities.

My students enjoy engaging books that they can make content and personal connections to. They also make me feel appreciated and loved when I go above and beyond to find their favorite kinds of books.

My Project

The books chosen for this project will be used to teach students about different cultures and backgrounds. I want to show students that there are plenty of characters in books just like them.

Students will get to learn not only about their culture, but about the many cultures that make up our diverse classroom.

I want to make sure students appreciate history by reading about people just like them who achieved great things in life.

The books will also be used as a read aloud during celebrations such as Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
