Help me give my students books that match them, since I have a very diverse class, but our class library doesn't match them.

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 Students
My school is a high poverty school in rural Florida. They are growing and learning in a tight-knit, school community that is like a family. Some of the children are the third generation to come to my school. About 89% of the students at my school receive free or reduced rate lunch. My children don't come from homes that have everything that they need to be ready to learn. But that does not stop them from succeeding. They love learning and love being at school. They are some of the sweetest children that I know with the biggest hearts.
My Project
Diverse books will allow my children to read about children that look like themselves. My children love and treasure every book that is in our library. They share books that they love with the other children.
Diverse books will allow my diverse children to read about characters that look like them.
They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
More than half of students from low‑income households
