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

Please help donate to purchase new read aloud books for my classroom! As a new teacher I have very limited books to read to my students, especially books related to social and emotional development, diversity and multi-cultural texts. It is crucial to share diverse literature with my students and engage in a variety of texts from different cultures. I hope to create a classroom where all of my students are welcomed and represented. These books serve as a window to different emotions and experiences and create an opportunity to build community and increase empathy. I appreciate all of the donations and help!!
