Help me give my students a fantastic fantasy unit with characters that look like them. They have had to share books and there are not enough fantasy book books with characters of color such as Akata Witch.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lunnon's classroom raised $707
This project is fully funded
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 students are awesome! They come to school every day energized and eager to learn. My students are hardworking and have bright futures ahead of them. I'm lucky to be a part of their education.
I work at a school in an economically disadvantaged neighborhood and around 80% of our students receive free lunch.
My students are diverse in their cultures and backgrounds. They love seeing themselves reflected in their curriculum. My students have amazing potential and will help change the world for the better.
My Project
My students love to read and especially love fantasy books. In the past, my students have had to share books and were not able to take them home. They will be thrilled to read the same book and to be able to take the books home to enjoy.
I hope to inspire my readers to dream big by having them read an amazing novel with young characters that look like them.
This will engage my students in reading and continue their love for books and education. These books will be used to inspire and educate students for many years to come.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
