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

Students get better with practice, that includes reading as well! By giving students a variety of books, they will be eager to read and try new things. They need choice to ensure they are reading books that interest them and spark curiosity and imagination.

The more choices they have, the more likely they are to find something new to read and explore!

Students improve their reding fluency and comprehension by reading books they enjoy and reading daily. Additionally, I want to challenge my 1st graders to read chapter books and improve their reading skills with new and excting stories.
