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 want to provide my students with access to a diverse range of literature in our classroom to cultivate a love of reading and motivate them to explore new ideas. A well-stocked classroom library allows students to discover books that resonate with their interests, backgrounds, and reading levels, fostering both engagement and growth. By offering a variety of genres, perspectives, and voices, I hope to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong appreciation for literature. Your support in helping to expand our classroom library will give students the opportunity to experience the joy and power of reading every day.
