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 enthusiastic, curious learners with a genuine love for reading. To continue nurturing their passion, I’m seeking new and engaging titles to add to our classroom library. Expanding our collection with fresh, diverse books will not only support literacy development, but also sustain their motivation to read and learn.

Books are a cornerstone of meaningful learning experiences, and I strive to provide my students with opportunities to choose what they read and engage in thoughtful discussions in small groups.

When students have agency in selecting their reading materials, they feel empowered and take greater ownership of their learning. They thrive on sharing insights, asking questions, and exchanging ideas about the books they explore, which deepens their comprehension and builds a strong reading community.

Refreshing our classroom library with new titles will ensure that all students find something that speaks to their interests and inspires a lifelong love of reading.
