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 bright, curious individuals with an insatiable thirst for knowledge! They deserve access to a diverse array of books that not only cater to their current interests but spark their desire to learn about different things. While I've been fortunate enough to provide a modest collection of fiction books through thrifting and my own personal funds, it's the non-fiction, history, and books in their home languages that remain out of reach.

By supporting our classroom library project, you will be directly contributing to the enrichment of my students' educational journey.

Here's why your contribution matters:

1. Up-to-Date Non-Fiction: In today's rapidly evolving world, it's crucial for students to have access to the latest information and perspectives. Your donation will enable us to acquire up-to-date non-fiction books, like encyclopedias, that cover a wide range of topics.

2. Diverse Representation: Every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the stories they read. By providing books in their home languages and featuring diverse characters and cultures, we can promote inclusivity and celebrate the richness of our multicultural society.

3. Variety in Subjects: Every student has their own unique interests and passions. With your support, we can expand our library to include a diverse range of subjects, from STEM to sports, history to biography, ensuring that every child finds something that captivates their imagination.

I can use these books in my whole-class instruction as well to teach academic concepts and engage my students!

Together, we can turn the pages of possibility and open doors to a world of knowledge and opportunity for my students. Thank you for considering supporting our classroom library project!
