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

Please help my students have access to interesting books of various reading levels. My dream as a teacher is to have a classroom library that excites and inspires my students to read. I believe that a love of reading is a stepping stone to becoming an enthusiastic learner and a confident reader, writer, and speaker. With confidence and enthusiasm, students can enjoy a wonderful world of learning and exploration.

"A book is a dream that you hold in your hands." - Neil Gaiman

I have chosen a few different book series. One of my favorite series is Who HQ. This series includes books that tell the incredible stories of trailblazers, legends, innovators, cool places, and important events. I also included other series such as the best-selling Harry Potter books, Captain Underpants, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, I Survived series, and Who Would Win series.
