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 Students

Do you remember the first time you got excited about reading?

I teach a terrific group of third graders at a small elementary school in the Bronx.

Our school is expanding slowly and my class will be the first Third Grade for our school. Because we are expanding, third grade is "new" in our school. Because of deep cuts to school budgets across New York City, we need some help to secure classroom books and other resources. These materials will help us work for the whole year.

My Project

We need Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody books to support my students who are moving to on-grade reading levels gradually. These books will help my students get excited about reading, learn to become better more engaged readers. These are highly engaging books that will invite my kids into reading and make the reading a joy! For my students who are new to English, we need a set of sight word puzzles.

Become a partner in my students' success!

Supporting this project will help us become better readers. This will help them become stronger academically and more successful in their learning and in life.
