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
A book can put you in a world away from home. My students are reading for leisure but they can't find the right book. Many of the students have no access to a library card so the only place they can get a book is our school library or my classroom library.
We would like sets of classic books that we can read together and take part in a literature circle.
These sets of books will be used during our literacy academy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
