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 are creative, smart, kind, and diverse.

They love reading, and the way their small faces light up whenever they see a face or voice that reflects their own is priceless.

In a classroom that is full of so many beautiful white, brown, and black faces, I want each child to feel seen and represented in a tangible way, that they can look at every day.

These books will be well-loved and read every single day by every single student in this class.

My students thank you for helping!

Ms. Gomez Crete Academy Grades PreK-2
