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

Help me give my students different books to help them learn about important people and events in our history! The students in my class love social studies and to read about different people and events.

The books in this project will allow my students to read about important people to learn about Black History Month!

Other books include readings on different events that have happened in our history. My students will be able to use these books in conducting research and learning about new things that they are excited about!
