Books: A Journey Into Imagination!

Help me give my students books that will take them on great adventures!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Diaz's classroom raised $162

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

These books and resources will help my students explore the world without ever having to leave the classroom! They will let their imaginations soar!

With these new books, my students will be able to see the world from someone else's point of view.

Being a relatively new teacher, my resource collection and classroom library are both very small. These books will help fill our shelves with books that will not only take my students on exciting adventures but will show them, other people, who look like them and who experience emotions very similar to their very own!
