Celebrating 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
One of my goals is to continue to add rich diverse read aloud to my classroom library. Books that prompt a high level of conversation. In a world full of change we need to ensure we are learning about history and discussing the past. Reading books are representational of my students diversity and background.
Help give my students diverse books on a range of important topics that students must learn about so history does not repeat itself.
All of the books in this project could be banned in the near future. Help me add these to my library before they are no longer available to order!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
