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

As my students begin our new school year, I want to equip them with tools to help them make positive decisions and energy. The book The Energy Bus will be a weekly book study. Every student faces challenges. The book study will guide student and teach them how to create their success.

Students will read together, discuss as a group, and then write independently to reflect on their thoughts.

Book studies are great for diving deeper into a book, but it’s important to set a goal from the beginning to ensure opportunities to make personal connections. The students will also develop vocabulary skills, improving their reading, writing, and team-building.
