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 Students

Are you ready for 3rd grade? My students are so excited to be back in the classroom after such a difficult school year. My students come from African American and Latino communities. Most of my students speak English as their second language.

My Project

These new book bins will continue to enhance the welcoming classroom environment that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. In an organized classroom library, students will be able to choose books seamlessly and will continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new book bins, my students will be able to locate and choose from a variety of books and authors.

They will also be able to choose books that they enjoy and interest them. The most effective way to increase reading ability is to read more, and organizing our books in these book bins will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. Thank you for helping us get ready to read, grow and learn!
