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

Hello. I wish to motivate all students to read and having books in an art class seems crazy, but I remember growing up I did not have books at hime, so when my middle school teachers had books I would read them all. That is what I want to provide my students, with a love for reading and an opportunity to be able to read, regardless if they have books at home or not. By having them in the classroom it will motivate them to read books and also learn the importance in reading, especially if they start to see them where they would least expect them to be.
