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

I am thrilled to share an exciting project that aims to transform our high school English classroom into a realm of enchantment and creativity. I am seeking your support to bring new and updated young adult rewrites of commonly known Disney stories and fairytales to our classroom library.

Young adult adaptations of classic tales have the power to captivate and inspire students by offering fresh perspectives on timeless stories.

By introducing these reimagined narratives, we aim to engage our students in literary exploration, spark their imaginations, and foster critical thinking skills through the lens of beloved fairy tales.

Your support will allow us to acquire a curated selection of young adult novels that provide imaginative twists on familiar Disney stories and fairytales. These books not only offer an entertaining escape into magical worlds but also encourage students to think critically about narrative structure, character development, and the cultural significance of these enduring tales.

Your support for this project will not only enhance our classroom library but will also transport our students into worlds where familiar tales take unexpected turns. Join us in fostering a love for reading that combines the magic of timeless stories with the creativity of contemporary young adult literature.

Thank you for considering and supporting our endeavor to bring the wonder of reimagined fairy tales to the hearts and minds of our students.
