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

The diverse range of books will expose my preschoolers to different cultures, traditions, and perspectives, fostering empathy and a sense of global awareness. These stories will spark curiosity, build cultural literacy, and enrich their vocabulary while promoting a love for reading.

My goal is to create an inclusive classroom library that celebrates diversity and teaches children about the world.

Through these books, I aim to cultivate cultural understanding, encourage acceptance, and inspire a lifelong appreciation for learning and storytelling.

My preschoolers are full of curiosity, joy, and potential. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and experiences to the classroom. They are eager learners, and I want to provide them with resources that reflect and celebrate the world they are part of.
