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 Students

I have an amazing group of students! They are compassionate and welcoming to everyone. My students have been able to create an incredible sense of community. They all come from different backgrounds and have made great bonds with each other.

This group of students is kind, generous, and very helpful.

They are always eager to find out what new concepts they will be learning about. They are respectful and take into consideration the opinions of others. They are awesome kids!

My Project

Adding more books to my library will be very helpful for my students so that they can all find a book that they enjoy. I want to be able to have multiple copies of beloved books so that multiple students can read the same book at a time.

As the pandemic continues, I want to make sure that I have more books available so students can hold on to their copy longer.

I would also like to have enough library books so students can have something to read at home as well as in the classroom. I want all my students to be strong readers and to do that they need more great books to choose from!
