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

This project is composed of various books that are of students' interest. Students' interests in my classroom include Minecraft, Pokemon, and soccer (they are experts in various soccer players!). Many of the reads I have added are about these topics, therefore, they will broaden their knowledge. By adding these books to my classroom library I hope it will cut down the time of students browsing through books in the library and choosing one quickly of their interests to maximize reading during our reading block.

I want my students' love for reading to grow in a way that is organic.
