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

I am a first grade teacher. First grade is a critical grade in which students are learning how to accept themselves and accept others. It's a time to learn not only the curriculum, but how to love, care, share, and help others. With everything going on in the world today I want to be sure our classroom library showcases acceptance, diversity, and kindness.

My students come from low income households and the only time they will probably be exposed to different cultures is from the books that we read at school.

I want to make sure all students see a piece of themselves in our books and feel comfortable and excited about reading and learning about others.

I will use these books and supplies to create a beautiful and diverse classroom library for my first grade students! Thank you in advance!
