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

I have a wonderful group of intelligent, curious, dedicated learners. I LOVE books and work hard to have a diverse library in my classroom that has books that keeps my students reading and engaged.

I want to provide them with additional multicultural and diverse books to encourage discussions, understanding, and acceptance of all cultures and races.

Some of these books are specifically for this purpose. The "Oh the Places You'll Go" books are for me to send them off to middle school with a book that encourages all the traits we have embraced this year- perseverance, struggling through things, growing, and more!
