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 Students

My class is full of energy, creativity, and curiosity! They come to school every day eager to learn and excited to engage with others and explore the world around them. My favorite thing about my first graders is that they are hard workers and they are never afraid to try and perform their very best. I thrive to make their experiences in my class memorable.

People sometimes say, "Those kids are lucky to have you..." but what they don't know, is that I am the lucky one.

My Project

As first graders, this is the year where we want our students to become fluent in reading. These books will be added to our classroom library and will encourage students to read more and provide them with options to read. As a new teacher in 1st grade, building a classroom library can be expensive. With these books in the classroom, students will be able to take more AR quizzes and will become more confident and successful readers as they go into 2nd grade next year. My students are eager to dive into some new books. We hope you can help them reach their reading goals!
