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

"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." - Frederick Douglas. Help me create a classroom library with engaging graphic novels and new organizational shelves to showcase our favorites. My students are ready to read more complex chapter books and graphic novels and this project includes high-interest titles for boys and girls.

These silly books will take my readers on adventures beyond our classroom and expose them to humor, incredible vocabulary, and situations to expand their worldview.

Please help me meet all my readers' needs with these incredible book sets including the Lunch Lady Series and Narwhal & Jelly.

Your support of this project will help as I work to improve the future for us all.
