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 4th grade classroom is full of curious minds at all reading levels. To support both my developing and advanced readers, I am requesting a variety of engaging fiction and nonfiction books. These books will help lower-level readers build fluency and comprehension while challenging higher-level readers with rich vocabulary and deeper content. Fiction will spark imagination and empathy, while nonfiction will fuel curiosity and research skills. With the right books in their hands, all students can grow as confident, independent readers and researchers ready to explore the world through reading.
