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 students love to read. By receiving these books we will be able to have a fun rotation of books for our book study series. Each book will inspire my students to use their imagination and display their reading skills. While reading my students will practice their fluency, accuracy and comprehension skills to become stronger and more confident readers. Reading is a skill that we use everyday and in every way. My students will be able to analyze the text and learn new vocabulary along the way. Help us grow by READING!
