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

I need your help to continue enriching my student's lives through learning to read and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word. Our classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. I read aloud to them, they complete work there, and they deserve to have books to read! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read.

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create.

All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy their reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books. They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading.
