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

This school year has been quite a challenge. However, I am very proud of all each on everyone of my students. They are cheerful, very talkative, and always look out for each other. I hope that having a reading buddy and a book to read at home will not only motivate them, but also give them comfort. The students are working on building their stamina and staying seated longer, enjoying the adventures books take them on. For this reason, I hope that with your help we can achieve this goal.
