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

Every year, I ask my students to think hard about a book they would love to read over and over. This is what this project is made of.

The books on this list have been selected by my students.

The love for reading is

something that cannot be really taught. It is something we must find within ourselves. With these books that the students have personally wished for, we will be able to help cultivate this love of books in each of them. This project will also ensure they all receive a brand new book all for themselves!
