A Fresh Start for 4th Grade

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’m getting ready to welcome my very first group of fourth graders, and I want our classroom to be a place where every student feels excited to read and explore new stories. By filling our shelves with a variety of book series, I can help my students build reading confidence, strengthen their comprehension, and, most importantly, learn to love reading. These books will give them the chance to get lost in a story, connect with characters, and grow as readers every day. Your support means so much as I begin this journey.
