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

My students are creative and inspiring young individuals who love reading. They are ambitious and self-motivating. They love reading to transport them to new adventures.

Having high-quality picture books can make a significant difference in their learning outcomes by providing them with the tools and support they need to succeed.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. They have been chosen with my students in mind and will enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create.
