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 Students

My students are excited to read new books and discover new ideas and subjects they havent heard of before. They read a wide variety of books and are very eager to tell me all about them. Their creativity amazes me constantly.

My Project

Our young L. Bulldog students are very eager readers! Our library has limited materials for our youngest of readers and these new books will make an awesome addition to our small, yet growing library. Reading development is vital to our children's education and we can all help our younger generations by donating to our local schools. These students are our future and I hope that by exposing them to many different types of reading materials, they will expand their views and make discoveries they may not have found before. I will use these books for many years to come and hope to show our students how exciting reading can be.
