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 Students

My students are 8-9 years old. They are sweet, caring, and love learning. Some of my students favorite subjects in school are Math, Reading, and STEAM. They come to school every day excited to learn. My students love to work together and help one another accomplish their goals.

My students face adversity and always come to school with a smile on their face.

They are my role models and really appreciate their positive attitudes.

My Project

The class set of Magic Tree House books will be used in link with classroom curriculum. The students really enjoy our classroom read aloud after lunch and it hard for them to follow along with no book to follow with their tracking finger. This will help them understanding the book and follow along as I read to them. The other books will be for our classroom library.

As a first year teacher I have limited resources and I am in desperate need for classroom library books.

My students are great readers and have read all my classroom library books.
