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

My students are so eager to learn. I love how much they are putting effort into learning this year. Even the ones who “don’t like” to read, are reading this year! They keep begging me to buy new books, but I can’t keep up with them. All students are allowed to take my classroom library books home. It is so important to foster a love of reading for every child. Please help me get some new reading material in my classroom to keep my students interested! Thank you so much.
