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 students love to read. They have been requesting new books for them to read. These books would become part of our classroom library where they can read them. They will help in fostering a further love of reading. They will also encourage them to challenge themselves to read books that with help in their reading growth but be books they are interested in.

This book upgrade will help my students become motivated to read because they will have new and interesting books that they have chosen.

This will be a great update to our forever growing class library.
