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 project is full of engaging and interactive books that will captivate the minds of my little readers. I have chosen books that help expand their learning by building vocabulary, stimulate imagination, spark curiosity, and make connections through our thematic learning. I think it is imperative for my students to have interactions with books daily and learn through reading opportunities that most do not have access to at home. I know these books will be beneficial for our new classroom to promote positive learning through reading. Our goal is for our students to love reading, so thank you for considering this project.
