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 Students

My students share the excitement and joy of waiting for and then finally devouring the newest books in their favorite series. My students are inquisitive, voracious readers who are craving to discover the newest adventures in their favorite book series.

My students are book-loving, avid readers, and enthusiastic learners.

My Project

My students are amazing and eager to learn! The students who attend our French dual-immersion program are enthusiastic learners who read any chance they get. I’d love to promote inclusivity and bring culturally relevant books to our classroom. I want to build a classroom library filled with books and graphic novels that genuinely appeal to them. I am a new English teacher that has not built a library with enough books for my students. I've sought out recent titles from diverse authors in a variety of formats in order to ensure that I have something for everyone. I want my classroom to have cool books!
