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 provide my students with fun incentives for reading! We all know that not all students enjoy reading and don't understand the importance of reading. I am also trying to grow my library and I I have created a Donors Choose for help to add to my classroom library, but now I need some help with incentivizing them for reading! I have added some fun incentives that I know my students will enjoy! Thank you in advance, for your help in growing our scholars knowledge and brain with reading!
