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 an awesome bunch of kindergarteners. Unfortunately the classroom we are now in was not always a kindergarten room and there was no books for them. I have found some but it’s not enough for the whole class. Students can not reach their full potential in reading without books! They have show that they have a love of learning already and this project will help them learn their ABC’s as well as learning to read words and sentences. This will allow my students to borrow multiple books from the classroom to borrow and read at home.
