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

Time and time again I see one this is true: if we allow kids the choice to pick a book they want to read, they will grow in a love of reading that goes beyond the four walls of a classroom.

I chose books at a variety of reading levels and specifically titles guided towards sparking interests in both girls and girls.

Graphic novels were intentionally chosen and carefully selected for that purpose. Among the materials selected are white boards that students will use in our reading centers as well as ink to make copies for the projects we will be working on. All of these selected resources will aid in creating a conducive and exciting learning environment!

I want my students to see beyond just a book cover and develop a love for reading that allows them to grow in ways they never thought possible.
