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 class is full of bright and diverse students! They are eager to learn and deserve the BEST learning environment with resources to foster their learning. One thing our classroom could use more of, is a library of books at different levels. My students' reading skills vary widely and I want to provide them with books that they can read and enjoy at their level.

The books donated by this project will give my students access to great quality books that will foster their love for reading.

These books will be used in the classroom for years to come and will be enjoyed by many students.
