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 love to keep up with the latest books in their favorite series and latest topics of interest. Topics of interest change with frequency, and our students are very interested in non-fiction selection with an emphasis on biography's. My library lacks in some of the new interests of our students.

NEW BOOKS ARE NEEDED!

Students enjoy library activities, where they are exposed to many different topics, authors and genres, which has broadened their reading interests. Activities include book tastings, book musical chairs, literacy circles , the sandwich book report club, scary book club and library book displays of various topics.
