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
Please help me give my wonderful group of inquisitive 4th graders end of the year books and gifts to prevent summer slide. Summer break is typically a time for kids to kick back, indulge in a little extra screen time, play outside, and embrace the kind of freedom that only comes with being young and having zero responsibilities.
However, all of this free time can lead to the summer slide, a regression in academic proficiency due to summer break, and experts warn it is hindering kids’ progress when they head back to school.
Children won’t gain as much from summer reading if they aren’t truly enjoying it. Experts say kids should have access to a wide variety of books that they enjoy reading and are fully able to comprehend. These books will provide my students with the summer reading that will love.
My students work so hard during the long school year and should be rewarded for all of their hard work with books that they can read over the summer.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
