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

I aim to load my classroom library with super engaging books, so eye-catching that students won't be able to resist leafing through the pages, begin reading, and finally, will be so hooked that they won't want to put the books down.

I am a firm believer that one needs only find that one book that sparks an interest and then sets the love of reading on fire.

Help me make it possible to have such irresistible books in my classroom library that my students won't know what hit them. Thank you!
