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 have a class of adorable, energetic, eager to learn four and five year old students. For my project, "Reading Colors Our World:An Eric Carle Author Study," I am asking for a wide variety of childrens books written by Eric Carle. My goals for this project are to gather as many books as I can, written by Eric Carle.

Author studies help students learn to compare and contrast themes, analyze texts and illustrations, and make connections between an author's life and his/her work and between the author's work and the reader's own life and work.

This author study will help establish a strong community of readers and will expose my young learners to the adventures you can go on through books. It is my hope to establish a love for reading and a love for learning through these books.
