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 are the best. They are great readers and they love the new mini biographies that I have in the library. I only have a few and they are reading them fast and asking for more. The series "Ordinary People Change the World" has been a big hit in the library. These books are very appealing to young readers. The pictures are similar to graphic novels which my students love.

'Little People, Big Dreams" is another biography series on a slightly higher reading level.

They have proved to be very popular as well.

Thank you for considering my project.

Mrs. Furnary
Grades 3-5
