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

My students have unique curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Each day, they bring a fresh perspective and a contagious energy that inspires me to create engaging lessons tailored to their needs. These books and interactive reading materials will significantly enhance their learning experience.

These resources will foster a love of reading and improve literacy skill.

My goals for this project are to instill a passion for reading in my students, improve their literacy skills, and create a welcoming environment where they feel safe to express themselves. I aim to cultivate a classroom culture where reading is not just an assignment but a cherished activity they look forward to.
