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 classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them and I see their eyes light up every time! My goal this year is to ignite my student’s love for reading! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and my kiddos are grateful for the opportunities to read.

All of these books have been chosen with my students and parents in mind.

Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy reading.
