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

Class 203 is filled with loving, funny and brilliant students from different cultures. We love to read and listen to books from a variety of authors. During our center time, they love listening to stories from their favorite authors. The new headsets will be able to replace our old, broken ones! We are a class that LOVES books.

These books will enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. I strive to provide a safe space where students are comfortable reading books that are on their own level. With these libraries, my students will be provided with books the books they need, while being offered stories they love.

Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunity to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
