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 first graders are an enthusiastic group who love to read everyday.

These Pete the Cat books and classroom library books will help their love of reading as we do centers every day.

The classroom library books will help them practice their fluency and comprehension while having fun reading. The Pete the Cat books are some of our favorite books we have grown to love this school year. These books have helped them read more independently as the year progressed. They have helped my students grow confidence in the skill of reading.
