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

I am a reading/writing kindergarten teacher who loves to read my students books. I want to share my passion for books to my students by filling up their library in the classroom and having fun books to read to them and they can also read. I have a lot of students who due to low income they do not have the resources to keep practicing their reading at home. My goal is to have enough books to be able to share them with my students so they have the resources to continue their learning and love for reading
