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

Please help me to give the power of actual books in the hands of my students! Although technology has made it easier to access written works online, it is still a powerful thing to open a book and feel it in your hands. The power of touch and possession when reading cannot be underestimated. Remember reading your favorite book! Having that actual book to carry around and hold onto is a powerful feeling that can create a love for reading that will most likely carry on into the future of each child through your gift.
