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 special because they come from all around the world facing many challenges and still so eager to learn every day in our classroom. To continue advancing their learning I would like to add to our classroom library a variety of books that they will enjoy reading. These books will be of great service because they will give my students many options based on their different reading levels.

Adding all these elements to our classroom will give our students a safe and comfortable environment to continue expanding their education.
