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

My school is located in a low-income area of the city where developing literacy skills is always challenging. The majority of my students are bilingual students or come from a household where another language is spoken. I'd love to be able to provide my children with a print-rich classroom that ranges in interest.

I want to give my students a fun way to learn science and reading with this Magic School Bus book set.

This will provide them with a resource to learn science skills and topics while practicing and mastering their comprehension skills. Science can be fun with a little bit of imagination!
