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 is all about getting classic and modern book series into my classroom with the hope of igniting a passion for reading in my students while introducing students who already read to a whole new world of possibilities.

I hope that these book series will help grow their imaginations while also building an essential skill for life: reading.

The various book series that I have chosen include a variety of reading levels to account for the reality that students read at different paces an levels. I'm hoping that the range in novels will inspire all of my students to travel to different worlds simply by picking up and reading a book.
