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 students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. With these books, my students will have the opportunity to read quality stories that expand their reading comprehension, love for learning, and imagination.

The wide variety of books on this year's list will encourage students to read independently for pleasure and to read books that are on, above, and below their reading level in order to improve their reading fluency and comprehension.

Our school has a special challenge for students to read ALL 15 books by the end of the school year! My students challenge and push each other to read all the books and celebrate together! This year I've added in 1 more book that is the sequel to one the original 15 books - they LOVE to read stories that have multiple books!
