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

This project is for my excellent students! I work with small groups of gifted students who are gifted in reading and math and achieve above-level results. Our school is in a high poverty zone, with students coming from low socioeconomic status homes. My classroom is a place for my students to access books, lessons, and special projects. My students crave meaningful academic experiences with books!

I want to get new exciting chapter books like Fuzzy, The House on Mango Street, and Bronx Masquerade because the first step in getting kids to read is finding books they will love.

I aim to fill our classroom library with books that appeal to readers. The books that were selected for this project are of high interest. One of the books, "THe House on Mango Street," is about a young hispanic girl growing up in a big city. Another book, "Fuzzy," is about a robot trying to survive middle school. "Bronx Masquerade" is about about a group of teens that harness the power of poetry.

Please help me fund this project so that I can put these fantastic new books into the hands of my amazing young students!
