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

How far my students have come in their reading readiness! We went from many of them not even knowing the alphabet to reading stories rich with vocabulary and content knowledge; this is priceless!

With these books, my students can finish the year strong while preparing for the reading that will be required in first grade.

We have read many books and saved them in our library as favorites. I hope the students take a love of reading with them for a lifetime.

Working in a digital age, it can be difficult to inspire students with a love of reading. However, I know time-tested classics and strategies that work to instill a lifetime love of learning. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my students this year and for years to come!
