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

I will be teaching 6th grade in the Fall. I am in need of 6th grade books to help inspire my students. I want to create a fun learning environment for them so they can enjoy learning about the world around them.

I have been a primary teachers for many years.

This is a new grade and new role for me. These books will help my students to become involved in their learning. Middle schoolers deserve a positive and welcoming environment to encourage their learning.
