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

It is very difficult for us to find books in Spanish to motivate our students. We have been given a task of teaching students how to read and achieve reading goals, when a lot of them do not have parents that know how to read or write. It is so important for me to be able to provide a text rich environment that the students can get motivated to read. I want my students to fall in love with reading and to be successful not only for this coming school year but in the future.
