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

My high school classroom is in need of a diverse collection of novels to ignite a passion for reading and critical thinking among the students.

Many of my students come from backgrounds where access to literature is limited, and having a variety of novels available can make a transformative difference in their educational journey.

By providing these books, you will not only help improve their literacy skills but also expose them to different cultures, perspectives, and ideas that are essential for their personal and academic growth. Thank you for your dedication to supporting students in improving their literacy!
