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

As I transition from second grade to Kindergarten, I need to make a new appropriate leveled library for my new students. These books will enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library will be place that my students will be able to choose their own books to enjoy and learn to read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.

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

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.This project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
