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

I am a first-year 1st grade dual language teacher and I need your help giving my students books to choose from that they can read based on their reading level. Giving students books they can read will motivate them to continue to read every day. This will encourage them to read more, which will help broaden their vocabulary in their native language.

My goal for this year will be for my students to enjoy reading.

I want my students to be proud of how many books they are able to read.
