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

All of the books in this project will be used in both small group and large group instruction. These books will give my students' a hands on experience with new books and will allow me the opportunity to increase the literacy instruction in my classroom. My goal is to create adapted materials for all the books in this project to meet the needs of all my special learners.

My students all have some form of disability and a wide range of educational needs.

The books in this project will go along with digital materials that I will create. The digital materials will give my non-verbal students the opportunity to answer questions about the books that are read to them.
