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

Books are essential in every classroom. In a preschool classroom, board books are preferred as our tiny friends learn how to turn a book's pages. As the years go by, books get torn, lost, and worn out. Therefore, I am asking for new books for my classroom library. The books that I have selected pertain to themes, holidays, and units of study from the Creative Curriculum.

I love teaching my young students to enjoy reading books.

Therefore, I prioritize maintaining a well-stocked library with a variety of books to rotate weekly. My students are special because they are very young children with diverse learning needs.
