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

Books are essential for students to learn and grow as citizen in our community. The items I choses, are books that my students have indes in reading. I believe these books will make a difference because they will read at home each night for 20-30 minutes.

My project goals are to increase reading and vocabulary.

Which will increase their writing. When students are reading, they can become better writers, because they have stored information in their brains that they can draw from.

My students are special because they are ELLS'. They are learning a new language and coming to school so they will have a bight and successful future.
