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

As the school year comes to a close I can definitely say that books were a huge hit! I truly loved having an extensive classroom library for students to borrow from and really enjoy their love for reading. With many things in a classroom, some of the books have not made their way back, which is a delight for me because that means that students are adding books to their home libraries.

I will always support and foster my students' love for reading, even if it means replacing missing books from my classroom.

I am excited to provide a fresh set of books that can be loved on and cherished by students for the upcoming school year.
