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

These books will help a first year teacher to build an interesting classroom library that will encourage students to read and let their imagination soar! These books are well written stories filled with beautiful imagery and inspirational messages.

Developing independent readers is a goal of my classroom!The Magic School House series are chapter books that will excite students desire to finish one story to get to the next!

Students being able to check them out and finish at home will allow families to get involved in students excitement! I wonder which of my students will make it through all 10 first!!
