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

These novels will inspire and encourage students to feel confident about reading. Having a variety of books for my students to read is an important aspect for to my classroom environment. I strive to create a classroom library where every child can find a piece of literature that is interesting and exciting.

With these novels, my students will have the opportunity to choose books that are motivating to read for their pleasure and academic growth.

The colorful pens, and highlighters will be used for activities that relate to each novel. Students will interact with the text. The best way to create fluent readers is to simply read more. Readers make leaders!
