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

Students will use the book "Waiting for the Biblioburro" for the subject matter English Language Arts. The students will learn about the theme "Overcoming Learning Challenges Near & Far."

Students will use the book "Waiting for the Biblioburro" to learn vocabulary, reading comprehension and identify Central Idea.

The student will also use the book to compare and contrast with other passages that teach "Overcoming Learning Challenges Near & Far."

The student need the copy paper so I can duplicate graphic organizers (Compare & Contrast, Central Idea, Theme and more...)

The copy paper will also be used to duplicate assignments, test , projects and homework.

Finally, the students desperately, need all of these materials.
