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
I have taught for 4 years now and have only been in second grade. I have resources for younger grades and need your help to provide 7/8th grade friendly books. I want to be able to feel as prepared for my classes as much as possible. As well as, the children to be able to relate to something within these books.
I was never given the right books to enjoy reading and I hope that these books requested will even reach those who feel the same.
Thank you for all your support! Let's reach our goal!
