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

I would love to provide my students and families with the opportunity to have books to take home. Reading is so important for all our students and families. this can help families do more 1 on 1 time with their children at home. These books can help create new vocabulary as well as new conversations to the students at home. We have so many books at school, but I want to make sure that they also have books at home. So many of our kids love reading, I hope that this can carry into their home life as well.

Being a title I school, students can't always afford quality books for home.

I would love to help provide books to my students to read with their families.
