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 want to give my students a diverse library to encourage reading. I want books they will be interested in reading and will help them grow as learners and people. My students will be my first classroom and I want to give them rich literacy to engage with. Students should have a chance to read whenever they want and encouraging reading in the classroom during free time is important and I want books that will keep my students engaged. I would like diverse books for all level of readers and books that will keep their young mind active.
