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
As a teacher passionate about fostering a love for reading in my dual language 2nd graders, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in bringing our classroom library to life. I’ve created this project to enhance our library with a selection of engaging books: Little Critter, Pete the Cat, Amelia Bedelia, Biscuit’s Neighborhood, Spanish for Kids Readers, and First Little Readers (Levels A-F). These beloved titles will not only captivate my students’ imaginations but also support their literacy development in both English and Spanish.
With these books, my goal is to create a diverse and exciting reading environment where each student can find stories that resonate with them.
Reading is a key part of their educational journey, and having access to a wide variety of books will help improve their reading skills, boost their confidence, and inspire a lifelong love of literature.
My students are incredible—full of curiosity, enthusiasm, and a hunger for knowledge. By supporting this project, you’ll be helping to nurture their potential and give them the tools they need to succeed. Thank you for considering a donation to enrich their learning experience!
