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 are curious, creative, and always eager for a good mystery. They thrive when given stories that challenge their thinking, spark their imagination, and keep them on the edge of their seats. That’s why I’m requesting two books from the Eerie-on-Sea series—engaging, adventure-filled novels that will not only strengthen their reading skills but also inspire a lifelong love for books.

These books will make a difference by providing high-interest reading material that captivates even the most reluctant readers.

The Eerie-on-Sea series is filled with intriguing mysteries, unforgettable characters, and rich storytelling that will encourage students to think critically, make predictions, and analyze complex plots. By diving into these stories, they will improve their comprehension, vocabulary, and discussion skills while experiencing the joy of getting lost in a great book.

My goal for this project is to make reading an exciting adventure rather than just another assignment. I want my students to develop a passion for books, to see reading as a doorway to new worlds, and to realize the power of storytelling. These books will also encourage deeper conversations about themes like friendship, bravery, and problem-solving.

What makes my students special is their enthusiasm and willingness to embrace new challenges. They love learning through stories and connecting with characters who feel real to them. By providing them with books that spark their curiosity, I’m giving them an opportunity to grow as readers and thinkers. With these books, they’ll not only build their literacy skills but also discover the magic of a truly great story.
