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

The donations for our classroom library will make a world of a difference for my diverse learners. The books sets will help to engage my students and help them to meet their goals. From Dog Man, to books that will help students with their social- emotional needs, these additions to our classroom will inspire my students to delve into new worlds of adventure.

The flexible seating options will also be helpful in our classroom library to create a cozy and comfortable space to enjoy reading their new books.

My students really enjoy having choice in their learning. By allowing them to choose among new books and areas to sit and relax during reading time will help to create a safe and inclusive space where they can delve deeper into their interests.

My students are primarily English language learners and it is important that I am giving them exposure to many different types of books in order to find their interests at their level. By receiving these items, our classroom library and students would thrive!
