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

I love the perspectives and experiences the students bring to my classroom. While we are in high need in new books genres, the students will use these books in the library for checking in and out. I am writing this not only for the school but for my students who do not have a chance to check out books at the library. I also added a few incentives/ prizes for the students who show one of the following: friendship, integrity, responsibility, and or excellence in the library.

Donors if you pick this project the students will be filled of new books and smiles.
