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

In our second grade classroom, we love having books that help us learn about our society and the wonders of our world.

Help us bring in great books to our young, curious minds that help them see our global world!

Space, animals, and graphic novels are huge hits with our dual language learners. Adding in more Spanish high interest books is one of our goals this year! As we continue to grow our classroom library, we found a need to bring out current, engaging, books that represent our growing world. Help bring Asian, Native, Spanish, and Black stories to our class!
