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 "Terrific Third Graders" are full of wonder and imagination. These books will directly help my students in many ways. Expanding our classroom library by offering engaging fiction and reading materials that foster a love of reading and enhance comprehension will make these students fall in love more with books. I am including books that reflect diverse cultures, backgrounds, and experiences, broadening students' understanding of the world.

Having new books added to our classroom library will allow students to increase their reading fluency.

Adding a variety of genres allows my students to have a wider choice of reading material.
