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

These books will expand and update our classroom library. Students need diverse and current books that reflect the world around us. My students are curious and eager learners and enjoy reading books and being read to.

My students will benefit from exposure to diverse characters, cultures, and settings because it will enhance their vocabulary and language skills.

It is so important to get the youngest of learners not only excited to learn but also listening and speaking with to one another.

These books will help spark my student's interest in the world around them.
