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 school is located in the Southern border town of San Luis, Arizona and most of my students are discovering English for the fist time. Books are a way to emerge my students in the English language in a fun and interesting way.

Students in my classroom enjoy reading but unfortunately we do not have enough books of their favorite genres to enjoy.

For that reason, I would like to expand my classroom library to keep them reading in my classroom. My students will be greatly benefited by the new library!
