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

Hello, I am a middle school english teacher with a desire to expand and update her classroom library. These books are series or stories where the students can find representation through the themes and challenges the characters go through.

In updating my class library I hope to be able to provide a space for all students to find a story or genre they enjoy in order to become life long readers.

They already get the chance to read 30 mins at school I hope by giving them different book options they will be able to reach their reading goals!

Ms. Reyes Alliance College - Ready Middle Academy 8 Grades 6-8
