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

We have been so lucky to get a variety of best seller books funded through DonorsChoose for our lending library, so much that it has been hard to organize all the books properly. Any teacher will tell you that classroom organization is key, when it comes to having a functional classroom.

That is why I am requesting a set of book bins, to make sure the books are properly organized, making it easier for our students to pick which book they would like to take home with them for the week to read with their family!

Our Lending Library fosters our preschoolers love for books, so much so, that students cannot wait to be able to pick a new book and bring it home to read with their family! I would love to make it easier for my preschoolers to pick a book of their liking or genre of their liking and I believe these book bins will help with just that!
