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

Author studies can help students develop a variety of skills and interests, including critical thinking, and text-to-text connections. I want to have an author for my students to listen to as many books by the same author as possible. Tomie dePaola is a beloved author who creates lovely stories and beautiful pictures. We have a few books from him in our classroom but would love to read more of these books. Thank you for helping my class enjoy the love of reading and comparing Authors to learn more about their craft.
