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

In our classroom, feedback is important. So, despite the amount of books we are grateful to have, my students are always wanting more. It's also important to give them relevant books and get rid of outdated with the times books. These books would rebuild our collection. They're wanting books that have been on their wish lists!

My students would love to read award-winning, inspiring, hilarious, thoughtful books that they have asked for all year!

These aren't just typical books. The books on this list are books they've been begging to read. If there's one thing I've learned in teaching, it's that when you're interested in something you're likely to learn from it and do it more often. The characters and titles of these books have my kids obsessed eager to read!
