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 9th Graders enjoyed Long Way Down so much that I would like to use it with my 10th graders too. I need more copies. The story really hit home for many of my students. The themes are real for many of them. We read the book in three days with awesome discussions.

The TPT voucher would be so helpful for me to find more interactive and engaging lessons.

I have been covering classes due to high teacher absences in my school. I am tired. I need the boost and proven lessons that would make the last two months memorable.
