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

My first graders have come such a long way since the beginning of the year. Their reading levels and interest in reading continues to rise. I’m proud of how much they have grown this year!

Help my students continue to grow their love for reading!

These new books will bring them so much joy and enhance their reading skills. The book bags will help keep their library books organized. It will be easier for them to have all their books in one place especially during independent reading time which they love to do.
