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

These books will help my students want to engage in reading.

My school is a Title I school and I want to give my students the opportunity to enjoy fun and engaging books throughout the year.

Being able to see their faces light up when you read to them and expose them to the language is very rewarding. A lot of my students are ELL and some are new to the country, a lot of them live in shelters. By adding books to our library will be amazing to my students and myself.
