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

The SPOT book series is a class favorite at the Home of the Scholars! The stories are fun and engaging! They pique my 7-8 year old's interest and the lessons to be learned are clear. It is easy for my Scholars to think about the story and come up with "bigger picture"-the lesson and moral of the story.

In this day and age, it is vital that we teach social emotional regulation skills, leadership skills, diversity, feelings, as well as diversity and even talent.

If not with us, then with who?

Scholars love to learn through literacy and I know they will continue to love the SPOT series!
