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 am so excited to have the chance to get so many new books to put on the shelf in our school library. It is like Christmas when I am able to share new books with my students!

I have gone through and found many titles that will expand our collection of their favorite books.

I also have some book bins on the list, so that I can organize our library shelves so that it is easier for the students to find their favorites easier. It makes them excited to just go straight to the book bin that has that special book they really want!
