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

In a nutshell, we would love new books. Our class library is small. We would love to see it grow. The more books... the better! This also allows students to see the different genres of books our library has to offer.

Helping students to have more access to more books will allow them to be better readers.

A diverse selection of books is a gateway to better reading skills for reluctant readers. My students will love getting their hands on newer and more diverse graphics novels, picture books, and chapter books.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
