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 a wonderful and curious group of learners. All of students are well on their way to reading and writing in English and Spanish. What is most spectacular about my class is the growing interest for chapter books in Spanish that my students continue to show. They are also developing their understanding of the world through the characters we read about.

Colorful and engaging books are just what our class needs to continue fueling our love for reading!

With additional book bins and labels, I can provide students with easier access to retrieve and identify the English and Spanish books in our classroom library. This will also help students keep our classroom library organized and inviting for all readers in our class.
