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 would like to provide science based nonfiction books for my students. Many boys preferred to read nonfiction than fiction books. Many of them love books about science, cars, planes, spies, etc. Many of my students came up to me specifically asking for these types of books.

I would love to have these books in my classroom library.

I know they would love, love these books! This donation would be greatly appreciated. There is nothing I love more than being able to provide books that they're interested in. Thank you.

Mrs. Self
Grades 6-8
