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

Our campus is at 100% of in-person learning. This is the year I am teaching kindergarten. I just adore these little learners because they always come into the classroom eager to learn!

They are some of the most dedicated students I have ever seen, so this project will benefit my students tremendously.

They are some of the funniest, cutest, sweetest, and most caring students I have come across, who are ready to conquer Kinder

They want to become avid readers in order to be successful in upper grades.

My Project

These leveled reader books are essential in supporting student success in reading. These books will ensure that students will have access to a variety of books and will enhance their reading skills.

Since students are different in their learning abilities and styles, having books in different levels will expose students to the array of literature that will be promote the enthusiasm for reading literature.

These leveled readers will be the backbone for literature circles, discussions, and writing discourse in the classroom.

Having access to a variety of books will encourage my students achievement and will provide them with the fundamentals for successful future reading partnerships.
