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 believe books are invaluable companions for children because they nurture their minds and spirits. Books are portals to the imagination and can foster creativity and curiosity. Through some of these stories, children can explore different cultures to understand them better. With stories, students can discover themselves and their interests.

These books will also stimulate language skills, enhancing their vocabulary and comprehension.

My goal for this project is for my students to have new books for my students to read and can play with the plush toys as well, enhancing their reading experience.
