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

Hello! Working to create a warm, inviting reading corner in my classroom. My students are bright, curious, and full of imagination—but many of them don't have access to books or a quiet, comfortable space to read outside of school.

With your support, we can foster a love of reading, improve literacy skills, and give every student a place where stories come alive.

You will help us build a reading haven with bookshelves, a cozy rug, comfy seating, and a diverse selection of engaging books that reflect our students' interests and backgrounds.

Thank you for believing in our readers and helping make our classroom a more joyful and inspiring place to learn!
