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

The 25 students in my class have a special love for reading. With the variety of reading levels that my students are on, I find it essential to provide them with books they will not only enjoy, but will also be able to understand. Books in this project are focused on culture, black history, biographies, and sports.

My goal is to incorporate books into my library on topics that my students are most interested in order to enhance their love for reading.

The materials in this project will ensure that my students are becoming better and more well-rounded readers. The different levels and styles of books in this project will allow students to access books on their levels and strengthen their reading skills.
