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

The books I am requesting will complement the academic curriculum unit that I will be teaching and increase students' understanding of the global importance of water conservation, fostering a sense of responsibility towards our planet. These books will stimulate critical thinking and provide practical tips that will motivate action. Furthermore, students will gain insight into the interconnectedness of environmental challenges and solutions. These students are gifted and have a thirst for knowledge and passion for learning. By nature, they are critical thinkers and highly motivated. Their leadership qualities will help spread awareness to our community at large.
