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.

I am a first year teacher who will be teaching 4th grade. My campus is departmentalized and my subject areas are reading and social studies.

I am a first year teacher and I am in need of books that are on my students level. I have tried along the way to buy books, but had no idea what grade I would be teaching. I landed a 4th grade position and don't have many books that are that level. I have asked around about books that 4th graders love to read. This title "There's a Boy in the Girls Bathroom" seems to be a hit. We all want to instill a love of reading and if we have good books that interest them, they are more likely to read them.

I would like to have a set of There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom for 25 students. WIth a class set of these books my students can do a book study with the class. With a book that students enjoy, this makes it that much easier.

Me and my students would be greatly blessed by your genorosity! Any amount you are willing to donate to this cause would be amazing.
