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 supplies that I would like to add to our classroom will be of great service to my kids who come from all around the world to learn in a new and safe enviroment. The books requested will allow them to gain knowledge about the world that surrounds them on a daily. The books will also offer my students a variety of books to choose from along with a snack to enjoy.

I strive to make reading a fun experience that will make my students eager to continue learning even after they have left my classroom.
