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 students love to discuss the books we read. Sometimes, the students need help in understanding the author's style of writing or the language the author uses which is often based on the century that the author lived in. These books will be used to help the students delve into the past to understand a different time and to also understand the stories that they are reading.

No-Fear novels are a great way for students to connect to not only the reading but also the time frame of the author.
