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 goal as an educator is to hear the following words from every student: I AM A READER!

Good readers become good writers, and good writers become good communicators.

With these books, I hope to instill in my third grade students a love of reading that will lead them to success! The chapter books I am requesting will allow my students to visit new places and meet new people with the turn of every page.

Thank you, in advance, for investing in the success of the students in my third grade class.
