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 middle school students are expected to have an independent reading book daily and one period a week we have a period dedicated to reading and celebrating their reading. Over the years, I have had many well loved books get damaged or go missing - specifically my series and graphic novels!

Because of this, it is very important that there are diverse, engaging books available for my students.

I could use some help replacing books and filling in the gaps! My students are eager readers and I would hate for them to lose their momentum and interest by not having what they want available.
