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

In today’s classroom, fostering a love for reading is essential for student success. Research shows that students who engage with a variety of books are better equipped with the skills necessary for critical thinking, empathy, and personal growth. Our school is committed to providing diverse and engaging reading materials that will inspire our students to not only become better readers but to develop a deeper connection with the world around them.

The goal of this project is to expand our classroom library to include a wider range of books that cater to various interests, reading levels, and cultural backgrounds.

These books will be used to create a dynamic, inclusive, and engaging reading environment for our students.
