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 love my students' curiosity and resilience. They approach each lesson with enthusiasm and a desire to learn. By providing engaging novels, we can ignite their passion for reading and improve their literacy skills through immersive experiences. Each book will serve as a gateway to new ideas and perspectives, allowing them to explore diverse themes and deepen their comprehension.

My goals for this project are to foster a love of reading, improve literacy rates, and create a collaborative learning environment where students feel inspired to share their thoughts and ideas.

These resources will enhance their academic skills and encourage critical thinking and empathy.

What makes my students special is their unique backgrounds and experiences. Each brings a different story and perspective to our classroom, enriching our discussions and learning journey. Investing in their access to quality literature empowers them to find their voices and become confident readers and thinkers.
