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

My students absolutely love to read! They cannot get enough! In order to continue to foster this love of learning, we are in need of additional books that can go home with the students. Many of my students do not have access to quality books or books at their individual reading level.

My students are in need of high-interest books, such as Dog Man or books from The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, to take home nightly to read.

This way they can take their excitement about reading home to their families! This will also help them continue to grow their love of reading.

Thank you so much for all you do for my students and classroom!
