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

Students will be working on a project during this unit that will help give back to their communities. We will be reading a diverse selection of books to help us understand how we can give back to our communities, by either doing community service or fixing our school garden so it can be open to our community. I would like my students to have all sorts of books so that they can make connections to their own personal communities, whether it be where they live or where they come from. These books will help them understand our diverse community and help us come up with a project to provide some form of community service toggle back to our community.
