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 year, I am including an independent reading program in my English curriculum, and I need new books that will interest students.

Help me ignite a passion for reading in my 8th-grade students by providing them with a diverse selection of modern, engaging books!

By donating to this project, you will give my 8th graders access to books featuring diverse characters, innovative plots, and relevant themes. These books will increase engagement, promote diversity, enhance learning, and foster a love for reading. You will also help me create a calm learning environment with warm lighting and an organized library with the cubes.

Thank you for considering this project and for helping me use the power of modern literature to make a lasting impact on the lives of my students.
