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

After taking an inventory of my classroom library, I noticed that many books are old and tattered and out-of-date.

I would love for my students to have access to books with beautiful illustrations and photographs with accurate and engaging information.

They also need books to compliment our science topics.

In addition, I work in the inner city, and I would love for my students to develop a fascination and appreciation of nature. These books will not only compliment the science curriculum, but also the hikes and field trips that we will be doing next school year.
