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

Most students do not have an affinity for reading. However, if I was able to have a classroom library full of books that my students will love, I believe it will open them up to reading. The books I have chosen for our classroom library are on different history themes and genres. I truly believe these books will ignite a love of reading for my students based on particular lessons we will cover in class.

I want my students to fall in love with history and books!

“You can get lost in any library, no matter the size. But the more lost you are, the more things you’ll find.”
