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

The Nate the Great series book will impact and mage a significant difference in my student's learning. They will expand their knowledge. They will build on their own repertoire of vocabulary. My students love to read. The Nate the Great character goes on adventures that my students can relate. The project also includes role playing props they can use and get into the character. They can imagine they they are the main character in the series. My students love to learn but are limited to resources. The books will be located in the classroom and during center reading the students may read them at their own time.
