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

Our school emphasizes the respect of self and others. This encompasses discipline and high expectations as well as activism and compassion. The kids know they will be Agents of Change and follow our school motto, "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Ghandi

We are classified as a "highest poverty" school and the kids at our school are brilliant.

They deserve excellent educational resources. Although my kids may lack financial resources, they have an incredible work ethic and desire to learn. We are a full Title I school, a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced lunches.

Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided with enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

My Project

When you walk into a library, you see a warm and inviting place to get lost in the books you love to read. The more contact children have with books, the better readers they become. My students need to have an inviting library in our classroom, where books can be displayed by genre and by attracting students based on the cover of the book!

Organized and easily accessible books will make it so much easier and more fun to find an open door to imagination.

This bookcase will give students a place to see book covers and allow for me to display new books or books that are in our current unit of study.
