Books Beyond the Classroom: Building a Love for Reading
Help me give my students stories that are relevant to their cultural backgrounds. These books will take them to magnificent journeys into the hispanic literacy world.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ortiz's classroom raised $612
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 project will build a diverse, engaging, and accessible collection of books for students to foster a love of reading, improve literacy skills, and support academic growth.
These books will provide students with access to high-quality, age-appropriate literature.
The addition of a well-rounded classroom library will have a lasting impact on students’ personal and academic development. A diverse library sparks curiosity and helps students connect with stories that reflect their experiences and broaden their worldview. By donating to this project, supporters are investing in the educational futures of my students, giving them the tools to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
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
