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 love to read, write, and tell stories. Last year, I started my first book club and the students were very excited to participate in this opportunity. Adding these books to their book collection, Lucky Song, Three Days on a River in a Red Canoe (Reading Rainbow Books), and Stringbean's Trip to the Shining Sea (Mulberry Books) continue to peak their curiosity as they learn about authors' different styles of writing. They practiced the key strategies that authors use while working in their journals to respond to the texts that they read.

At the end of our Authors Study, they asked me if we were going to continue having our book club during the new school year.

Such excitement was felt by my students!!
