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 emerging readers are interested and excited about reading and need chapter books to practice in the classroom and at home.

Reading can show you the world!

My students need chapter books like Dog Man, Magic Bone and others. These books are great because they are interesting and engaging for the students. I know my students will love to read all of the books! They will be excited to check them out from my classroom library and show me what they have read. Some of my students will even share their books with their siblings.
