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

Students become readers starting in the first grade. These books will allow my students to enjoy what they read at their level. They will want to continue to read because they will have books for their enjoyment and not feel they have to read because someone tells them to.

I want my students to become life long readers.

I want them to be able to choose books that are interesting to them. These books will also help update my classroom library. I want my students to have a love for books.
