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 classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy! Every book that is placed in my classroom library is treated with love and care, and my students are thankful for the opportunities to read. These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My students already enjoy reading and these books will only help enrich their reading even more! My students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time and grow a love for reading!
