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

My students have really enjoyed reading this school year. They have loved every graphic novel put on the shelf. They are also excited every time we open up a new novel and dive in. We are looking ahead and hoping we can start a wonderful new book.

The book Wonder will help teach my students empathy, love, and understanding of all human beings.

They will be able to learn more about plot and theme.

We also need headphones for every child. In this new technological world, it is very difficult for students to listen to reading online when they all have their volumes up. These headphones will help our students grow even more!
