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 class achieved a 60% increase in reading skills this year, which is a significant accomplishment. It's evident that expanding our class library has had a substantial impact on our students' reading abilities. I aim to ensure that our library encompasses a wide range of genres, cultures, and perspectives to engage all students and help them relate to the stories they read.

I plan to introduce reading challenges or programs to motivate students to read more and explore different types of books.

I always welcome students' book recommendations for our library, as this gives them a sense of ownership and can inspire them to read more. Additionally, I will use reading logs or digital tools to help students track their reading progress and will celebrate milestones to keep them motivated.

Your dedication to expanding our class library and nurturing a love of reading in our students is commendable. Keep up the great work!"
