Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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

We have the most amazing fourth grade students! They are kind, hardworking, and they love trying new things! We will be completing the 40 Book Challenge. To get the ball rolling, we'd like to do First Chapter Fridays.

We want to help our students find their love of reading different genres, and we need your help.

By donating to this project, you are putting books directly into the hands of students. Our goal is to open students' eyes to a plethora of genres, titles, and authors that they may not have decided to read on their own. We are grateful, in advance, for your support!

Ms. Anderson
Grades 3-5
