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 where they can find a book that will mean something to them. Reading should be fun and enjoyable. Utilizing these books, I will provide an authentic library that can be tailored to students of all reading levels.

The ultimate goal of a classroom library is to provide your students with a wide range of reading material that gives them a broad array of genres and topics, promotes inclusion and diversity, and encourages confident and independent readers!

My students will greatly appreciate it!
