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 are Title 1 students; they come from low-income households but have a thirst for knowledge! The selected students will be going on a field trip to experience a Pinocchio exhibit. I would love for them to be able to read the novel before our trip in February. By providing the novels, you will be helping us learn more about the topic and allow them to read books that the school does not usually provide. We want to immerse them in the world of Pinocchio! We do need the books ASAP!
