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 am lucky enough to work with a community of students who love to read. Unfortunately, books are expensive and a vast majority of my students are living in low income households. While I try to make sure I am providing them with a consistent flow of new and exciting reads, funds for classroom libraries and limited.

Please help me break down the barriers to a love of reading!

I want my students to continue to grow as readers and continue to enjoy reading. But I can't do it alone. The books on my list cover multiple high interest genres with targeted interests from sports, to vampires, to influential figures making sure every student can find something interesting to dive into!
