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

Just like any other first graders, my students are curious and enjoy a good read aloud. I have lately discovered these "Jack" books. I've only read my students a few of them and I have noticed that my students are super engaged.

Not only are these books engaging and fun, but they are rather easy to read.

I want to add a set of these books into our rotating library bins because it will allow my students to practice their basic phonic skills in a fun way. They will be able to use their decoding skills instead of relying on memorizing the story.

I thank you in advance for your generous donation.
