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

Every year I strive to get all of my students to find enjoyment in recreational reading so that they may become lifelong readers. One way to achieve this is through read alouds and by introducing them to a variety of genres. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and my students are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Biographies have become really popular in my class this year, but I currently have a small selection.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that interests them and it will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
