Help me give my students the gift of reading. My students are curious about the world around them. Having nonfiction books about life cycles and habitats is a great way to explore the world around them.

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 Students
My school is a Title I elementary school in Tempe, Arizona with over 85% of our students qualifying for government assistance. Much of the student population struggle with challenges that are generational. Some of these challenges include limited access to technology at home, lack of transportation, and lack of basic school supplies to be successful. A good majority of our students come from a home where two languages are spoken.
Despite the daily struggles, every child comes to school with the motivation to learn.
In kindergarten, our learning is very hands-on and filled with engaging activities. A kindergartner's day is typically very long and this can sometimes cause restlessness and inattentiveness. It is my hope to provide opportunities for my students to learn in the most comfortable environment.
My Project
My kindergarten students are very curious about the world around them. They have many questions about science and how things work. Reading books is a great way for them to learn!
Watching my students light up with excitement while reading books about real life plants, animals and habitats brings me joy.
The ocean habitat has been a favorite among my students, mainly sharks! Having a collection of these books will allow my students to explore their world around them while in the classroom.
With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read at their own grade level.
More than half of students from low‑income households
