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

These books will allow my students the access to books they may not be able to get at home. My classroom's lending library will be available for all my students to check books in and out as often as they would like. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind, choosing books that represent their diversity as well as book their home languages would be represented. I have watched them the past few weeks of school look through books and ask me to read books just like these. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy their reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that interest them and helps to build their love of reading.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest early literacy, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
