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 project would bring newly published books by some of our favorite authors to our school library.

When children are excited about a new release from a beloved author, it can create a sense of anticipation and enthusiasm for reading.

Reading new books by tried and true creators we already know and love provides a blend of familiarity and novelty, contributing to a well-rounded and enjoyable reading experience for children. It not only nurtures their love for reading but also supports their cognitive, emotional, and educational development. What a gift!
