Help me give my students books that reflect their own identities and those of their peers, empowering them to become confident and compassionate individuals.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Effie's classroom raised $959
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
The second graders in my class love to read! They deserve access to books featuring characters whose identities match their own. The books you'll be donating to our classroom reflect a wide range of cultures, races, families, religions, and languages.
Reading these stories will help students develop empathy and understanding for others and themselves.
When readers encounter a character who looks like them and experiences the world in a similar way to how they do, it is a powerful and validating experience. Furthermore, exposure to different perspectives broadens students’ understanding of the world, challenging stereotypes and encouraging critical thinking. Please consider donating to help get these wonderful titles into the hands of wonderful second graders.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
