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

In my 7th-grade Bilingual English class, books of high importance serve as catalysts for intellectual growth, language acquisition, and cultural understanding. My students have developed incredible skills during independent reading and in order to continue to grow they need books that challenge them and spark curiosity. Books serve as windows into diverse cultures, fostering empathy, and understanding among students.

Books are an invaluable tool in the journey of language acquisition.

This book list has a variety of perspectives and journeys that students can immerse themselves to and see a window into a new world.
