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

I work with a diverse student demographic which includes English Language Learners and students with varied learning styles who greatly benefit from different types of read aloud stories.

This project will help me bring stories that are relevant right now to my students and allow them to further practice and develop their listening, comprehension, and language skills while cultivating a love for reading in my students.

Through a variety of read aloud stories including picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels my students are given the opportunity to further develop their reading skills today to prepare them to lead tomorrow.
