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

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is where my students can find a book where they can identify themselves, as well as give them opportunities to learn about different cultures. During read-aloud time, these books will give me great joy to read to my students on the carpet. Students will be able to ask and answer questions, listen to new vocabulary, and travel with a book. Also, they are learning the value of a book, how to hold a book, turn pages, and care for it. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them to see themselves and make connections to the world.
