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

By providing books that capture my students interest can encourage them to develop a love for reading. Giving them the opportunity to explore books that excite them will help them become more independent learners, nurturing their curiosity and desire to explore new topics on their own.

My students are incredibly resilient, creative and full of potential.

Despite the challenges they may face, they bring unique perspectives, curiosity and a passion for learning. By providing them with the right resources, like books they requested, I believe they will continue to excel and develop a love for reading and learning, which will open doors for them that will go way beyond the classroom.
