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

Our school is going to be utilizing a new reading curriculum next school year and we are so excited! The new program, HMH Into Reading incorporates different read alouds for students to engage in and learn from. Unfortunately, our school is unable to purchase the physical copies of the read alouds for our students, which they would benefit from using.

Manipulating a physical text is so important for a child's reading development, so having these read alouds will be so beneficial for my Kindergartners!

My students are eager to learn and love to listen to stories read aloud!
