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

I recently moved from teaching 8th grade science to teaching 5th grade all subjects. These books, snacks and organizational tools will help influence my students to boost their love of reading and offer them incentives to read as we go through the school year. My project will help student's who have lower levels of reading comprehension catch up to their peers, and push the students who have high levels of reading comprehension to be challenged. The organizational tools with allow me to have the space to collect work well done.
