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

Our classroom has children who are 4-5 years old. They love exploring new books and looking at the pictures. They are still learning their letters and are not able to read just yet. I want to get more books to expose the students to more literature.

Help me add more books that are relevant to our students and enhances our library space to encourage more reading time.

Exposure to more books early will help our students build their love of reading. They enjoy book time while they rest and they love looking for books on events of the month such as winter, holidays, and friendship. Providing them a comfortable space to lay and read will really help our TK students.
