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

Watching my students grow and develop their academic literature skills is a wonderful experience! The group of students this year has been especially enthusiastic about the books in our classroom library. They love being read aloud to and they elate in the story that each book tells. With the materials in this project I will continue to transition my students from read alouds to read to self. I would like them to find the same excitement when they read on their own as they do when they are being read to; in hopes of developing a love for literature that will remain with them throughout their lives.
