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 teach a diverse group of students, many of whom are immigrants and English language learners with varying levels of English proficiency. My goal is to provide them with a rich and engaging classroom library that meets their unique needs and encourages a love for reading. To support their learning, I am seeking graphic novels, bestsellers, and books that align with our curriculum. These materials will cater to different reading levels and interests, helping students build their language skills while enjoying stories they can relate to. Thank you for your support!
