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 am a new librarian and love helping kids find joy in reading and writing. My students live in a lower-income area and deserve to participate in activities that will allow them to be better readers and writers. My students want to also be engaged from the time they enter the library and when they leave.

My students are working on learning to have a love for reading and writing in the library.

Having a reading and writing mobile space in the library will allow students to read books, write in the rocket notebook to record thoughts and ideas, use index cards to make notes about what they have read to share with their classmates. Students will also use crayons to draw representations of the books that they read.
