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 continue to enhance the print-rich classroom and love of reading that I strive to create. Our classroom library is a place that my students enjoy -- I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! All of these books have been chosen with my third grade students in mind.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of texts that interest them and will allow them to read independently at their own level.

Every book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and my students are so thankful for the opportunities to read and even take books home weekly to share their joy of reading with their families.
