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

I have a new set of 5th and 6th graders that truly are interested in reading. They love books and they devour then constantly. I have a limited selection of books in my class and I would be more than happy to be able to provide new book titles of high interest and SEL to our classroom library. I am recently introducing a new curriculum and these book titles are just a small list of the books needed for our units. It would be amazing to surprise my class with books that they are wanting to read!
