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 would love to add some new, fresh books to our 6th grade Book Club selection. The three titles in this project currently sit in my classroom library and are always a hit with students.

I consider myself lucky to be able to lead a “Book Club” class every morning with a small group of 6th graders.

The purpose of this class to read highly engaging novels, facilitate lively discussions, and, ultimately, foster a love for reading. We could use some new exciting titles to add to our rotation and gain students’ interest!
