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

Creating books is an essential part of learning in my classroom. I would like to use this comb-binding machine to make my students' books last longer and look professional. As a teacher, I strongly believe that offering book projects encourages language development as students write, edit, and revise their text.

This hands-on approach can deepen their understanding of concepts and improve retention.

Best of all when students create their books, they take ownership of their work and feel a sense of pride in the finished product. This can boost confidence and motivation.
