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 loving and energetic! They work hard daily to learn so many skills. They are eagerly acquiring the reading skills they need to be successful readers. These materials will allow my students to be confiendent in their reading!

Having a reading buddy will allow them to have someone to read to.

They will be able to help their buddy learn to read by reading a book to their choice of buddy daily. Having a reading buddy will encourage them to read more because they are reading to their buddy. I would love for them to have a variety of reading buddies to choose from.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
