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.

8 to 9 from great to fine that is what 3rd grade is all about. This is my first year in 3rd grade. I will teach them all the subjects. 3rd grade is a big testing year. I want to be prepared and give them all the opportunity to succeed. I will not fail these kids!!

3rd graders love to read and they are really into picking the books they like to read but my classroom library is so small; I don't have alot to offer them.

I will love a classroom library that the children will say, "WOW!" "She has these books and these books." "I can't wait to start reading!"

I set up a reading corner in my class with a couch and lamp and then I looked at my book selection and it was inadequate. With your donation I will be able to supply the books that the children are interested in and continue their love of reading.
