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

Our library is severely lacking with holidays/seasonal books, and popular preschool favorites! Many of the books we have are not taken care of, and we are in need some new and exciting books. These favorites will allow students to become interested about these titles, and form more inquiries along the way!

Books are essential to building their love for learning, and adding to our library is just the way to do so!

The books requested will be used for our classroom read alouds and fun activities to go along with the books. They will also be displayed in our classroom library for students to browse during our interest area time.

Please consider donating, as we would benefit from this library! My students love being able to dig deep into a quality book, and these would help build their learning so much.
