Celebrating 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.
Spirited, smart, and sweet are words I use to describe my students, but most importantly, they love to read, so providing them with new books in the library will be a wonderful way to welcome them back to school this year.
This year I will be sponsoring Minecraft and LEGOS after school clubs, so the new books will help motivate students to participate and create STEM projects where they can have fun learning.
One of my school's goals is to increase literacy skills, and there's no better way to do that than to provide students with books about subjects they love while also igniting their curiosity.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
