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 pretty special. They are a group of funny, creative, smart and one-of-a-kind kids. This class is a combo class , a mix of first grade and second grade. The students love read alouds and enjoy having book discussions. These few books will touch up on some important topics that as a class I believe it is important to talk about. Please help me provide some read aloud books for my wonderful 1st/2nd grade combo class.

My students and I would truly appreciate any support.
