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

Books help us travel to many different places. These books will help my kids enjoy reading time and help with their reading comprehension and fluency. My bilingual students like graphic novels and fiction books too.

I would like to have a variety of books for them to choose from and Spanish books are a need in our class library especially for my bilingual kids.

With both fiction and non-fiction books, I want to help my students develop their love and interest for reading. My students would love to get their hands in these books.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
