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 second grade teacher at a Title 1 school in Texas. I am part of the Teach For America program and this is my first year teaching. I teach everything from reading and writing to math and science and my kids are in desperate need of more books for our classroom.

The main focus of our classroom is on reading and balanced literacy. All of my kids come from Spanish speaking households so the only time they speak English is when they are at school. Thus, it is of the utmost importance that I have good resources (especially high quality books) for my kids to learn with.

This is why I am asking for a diverse collection of texts for my classroom. I am looking to expose my kids to as many different books and authors as possible. I want them to love literature and the only way for them to do this is to have books to read.

But, in order to make this possible I need your help. With your support, my kids can have the books they need to really learn to love reading. Thank you for your generosity.
