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

It is the goal of every teacher to help their students gain a love for reading. My students are 5th graders and I love to give my students many options of exciting books to help them gain a love for reading.

My students read best when they are comfortable, have a book at their level, and can simply enjoy the peaceful and rewarding experience of getting lost in a book.

Giving my students pillows to spread around the room helps them gain a lasting desire for reading. This is a skill and a love that could last a lifetime.
