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

For years, you helped build my picture book collection into the masterpiece it currently is. Now, it's time to replace the irrelevant chapters with new chapter book and graphic novel books. My readers are going to fall in love with these new chapter books and graphic novels!

We read daily.

This is the time of the year where we transition to consistently reading chapter books. This first group of books will have my students begging for more reading than they already get. Chapter books increase our comprehension and vocabulary. Thank you for your continued support.
