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 students are creative, caring, funny, accepting and kind. Despite being in different grades, they are very helpful and supportive of eachother both academically and emotionally. This year my students have gained new academic skills and they want to share those skills with the other students in the classroom. The books in this project would help my students learn the social skills they are needed to positively share their newly acquired skills.

These books are about making and being a good friend, the importance of kidness and how to create positive interactions with peers.

These books will continue to benfit the students in my classroom this year and also the students in the classroom in upcoming years.
