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

I love having the opportunity to teach students who are eager to learn and chase their own dreams!

My classroom is made up of a diverse group of twenty first graders with a wide range of skill levels and backgrounds.

In my classroom, you will find hardworking children who are learning English as a second language and children who qualify for free lunch, along with children who are challenged academically. My students give me a "why" each day and are inspirational!

My Project

My classroom is full of 1st graders from many cultures and backgrounds.

My students need books that they are able to see themselves represented in.

The materials requested would be used in a variety of ways. I selected great books for read alouds to enjoy and discuss together as a whole class. In addition to the read aloud books, I have requested books that would be on their independent levels. This will allow them to select books to read on their own that they are able to see themselves in. I also will use the book bins in order to organized books in our library so that titles can easily be found.

Please help me bring these great diverse books to my students!
