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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This extra special project is to help bring the spirit of Christmas into my classroom. My students love holiday celebrations and I want to provide books on all of the different ways Christmas and this holiday season is celebrated throughout the world. The decorations will help bring my classroom to life this holiday season as well as add spirit and joy to whomever enters our classroom!

My goal is to give my students a holiday season to remember by transforming my room into a winter wonderland filled with an abundance of books highlighting all of the different ways the holiday season is celebrated throughout the world!
