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

The Latinx Heritage inspired books and bean bag chairs I am requesting will bring my students the opportunity to read books in a relaxing and comfortable setting.

My students will find joy and inspiration as they see themselves in the brave and talented Latinx people and feel proud as they learn about the courages acts and contributions the Latinx people have made throughout history.

My students are part of the Latinx community and speak English and Spanish. Through these books, they will not only improve their reading skills, but will also learn valuable lessons of perseverance, self-worth, and be proud of who they, where they come from, and of being bilingual.
