Celebrating 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 second graders are lucky to be in a dual language school learning English and Spanish. Research shows that students who are in second grade and enjoy reading will become lifelong readers. It has also been shown that, unfortunately, more and more students are going through social/emotional difficulties earlier in life.
With your help, my students will have the ability to read books that will help them navigate through understanding their feelings and being sympathetic with themselves and each other in both of the languages that they are learning.
Most of the books in my project are geared towards inclusion/ social/ emotional themes that are so crucial in this day and age. Please help my students reach their potential and have fun doing so while reading fun and engaging books. Thank you!
