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

Every time I turn around my students are asking for new stories and series to dive into. I only feel obligated to give them what they're asking for! Some feel that graphic novels are not the best way for students to enjoy reading, but I say I'm happy knowing that they want to read and have a desire to.

Graphic novels have really helped to bring the joy of reading back for students in upper elementary, and it brings me joy when I see them get lost in a story and ask for more.

I've had students request specific titles and types of books, so it's important to me to grant their wish. I am adding more books to our Dog Man collection, a new series by an author one student already loves, and books with a sports them as requested by another student.
