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

Help me give my students a more diverse and inclusive learning experience through providing a selection of diverse reading materials to provide much needed representation in our class library.

My class has many students from many different backgrounds, and our library needs to be filled with books that represent them!

Representation matters, and the books in this project would provide that and encourage my developing readers as they improve and grow in their reading journey! The book cases are also crucial for our class library as we have no room to properly store these books and make them as well as our other books properly and safely accessible except for our current shelf that is falling apart! Please donate to help my students have the classroom library that they deserve!
