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 come from low income families and most of the times they can't afford to go to the public library. Getting the students different kinds of books help them coming to the school library and borrowed the books to read.

My goal is for the students to love reading and enjoy all the books.

I print and laminate some of the great pictures from the books to get them an idea on how places look like.

My students love to read different genres of books. They always are looking for more books to read! What better to have them reading new books.
