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

These books were chosen for the library but the teachers would love to use them in their curriculum, too. The majority of the books are popular with our students but we need new copies to replace our worn-out ones. Every year, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and do a butterfly study. The students would benefit from these new books to enrich their studies.

Children's books are fun but also serve as a great teaching tool for social-emotional learning.

The students love to hear and see the colorful images of these wonderful books that teach and entertain them during story time. They would love to borrow these books and share them with their family at home.
