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 Students

I have a wonderful class of motivated students who are eager to learn and engage in new forms of education. My students are sweet, hard-working and dedicated students who enjoy learning, using technology, art, music, and collaborative group work.

They are curious, eager, and always willing to go the extra mile, and so I want to provide them with any and all the resources I possibly can.

I am very lucky to be the teacher to these wonderful group of kids.

My Project

Students have different interests, different reading levels and even different needs when it comes to learning. It’s vital students have a variety of books at their disposal so that they can practice and improve their reading skills by reading books at their level and at their interest. Kids learn to love reading by having choices, by being able to read books that they enjoy and are at their reading level. These books will be an added welcome to my classroom library. One that many students, for years to come, can enjoy!
