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

Please help me give my students the opportunity to have a novel in their hands. I want to share the joy of reading with my 5th grade students. Putting a book in the hands of every student and giving them the chance to annotate and engage with literature will prepare them for their middle school adventure.

My students have worked so hard this year at mastering their skills through the state curriculum.

I want to end their elementary year with a memorable reading experience that will help them improve their reading and critical thinking.
