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 have amazing students! We love to have a full classroom library of a variety of books to browse and read at our leisure.

Thank you for helping us add books to our classroom library on a range of topics to help us build empathy.

Literacy is key to all students growth and feeling of success in school. By having a diverse collection of quick reads, students will be able to see themselves in some of the books. Students also need to find "window" books which provide opportunity to read about and understand the experience of others.
