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 teach small groups of Special Education students. My students are becoming better readers and they love reading out loud in small groups. It is getting difficult to find books that really engage them as the year goes on. These fun sets of book are about " an outer space adventure that allows young readers to learn about our planet and environment while laughing and having fun." My students will be so excited to see new books to read, plus they will be learning about the environment as they read.
