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'm looking forward to refreshing our nonfiction book section this year for our students! Most of what we have are from the late 90's to early 2000's and, as we know, much has changed since then! I want to provide my students and teachers with more up-to-date books for their research and knowledge. This could spark new ideas and interest in more current issues and topics! I am excited to curate a more relevant and current selection of non-fiction books for my school. Thank you for your time and generosity!
