Help Improve Spanish literacy

Help me give my students books in Spanish to support their biliteracy goals.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Darney's classroom raised $497

This project is fully funded

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 teach 4th grade at a dual immersion school and my class is in need of books in Spanish. In order to continue developing their reading comprehension, students will be provided with time to read and enjoy books in their native language. Having access to books in Spanish is critical for their academic growth.

I currently do not have any books in Spanish and would like to start building my library this year.

Help me provide my class with books that they will enjoy and read daily throughout the year.
