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

My students are hardworking and eager to learn something new every day. I admire their perseverance and collaboration skills in the classroom. All of my students have unique personality traits that help strengthen our classroom community. Books are a main contributor when it comes to helping my students feed their interests and grow their brains.

These books here connect to our curriculum and introduce my students to book series to help them fall in love with reading!

Students will be able to learn more about specific characters and continue to read series that we explore together!
