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 be great additions to my students’ social-emotional skills. Whenever I read a book, my students really grasp the message which in turn helps my students develop their social-emotional skills. After these books are read aloud, students will have access to borrow them from our classroom library so they may continue growing as readers.

Reading is such an essential skill and what better way to encourage students to read than with fun books?

If my students’ interests are taken into account, their interest is suddenly higher in whatever activity. I know that these books will help my students grow their excitement for reading.
