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

Through Reading Workshop, my students are able to create a literary community excited about reading and engaged in the process of becoming fluent readers and thinkers. By exposing my students to a wide variety of books that fit their interests, it allows them to engage, and truly enjoy reading. I want to instill this love for reading and give them the opportunity to travel through different journeys within the characters that they are reading about.

I want to give my students the chance to finish a book and right away pick up the next book in a series without interrupting their excitement for reading.

Finally, to support my readers, it is important that they see themselves as readers, capable and independent, surrounded by a community of other avid readers with whom they can talk about books. Adding the few book series to my library will support my students in reaching those classroom goals.
