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 amazing and come from all over the world. At any given time I can have up to 10 cultures in one room. They are also very diverse learners. Some like reading short stories online, comics, and reading in their native language. We have so many books in my class but I want to expand the options so that all my learners can be engaged in reading. Practice makes perfect and we want to perfect our reading/comprehension skills using independent reading time, where students can have a choice of books they will enjoy.

Grades 6-8
