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

I love that my students are excited about learning and coming to school. For most of them this is their first school experience. I want to make learning and reading fun for them. A lot of them are really understanding math and enjoying it, while most of them are not excited about reading. So I would like these donations to help them boost their excitement and enjoyment for reading. By receiving these books my students will have up to date resources and about topics they enjoy and show interest in.
