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 students at our academy are learning about Respect, Empathy, and Cooperation in an effort to spread kindness. These books would help support us in that mission. We are currently using a curriculum called Character Strong which has a lot of book suggestions that go along with their lessons. Many are available online, but there is something special about a physical book that I want my students to be able to enjoy and experience.

Empathy, Respect, and Cooperation are such special skills that can change someone's entire life.

Help me give students stories that can help them understand these words in action!
