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 Students

My students are special because they are so different. Each and every one of them has something to offer. Their laughter and creativity light up any room. When they are excited about something and want to share it with the world, I love to listen!

My Project

Learning from home will be more fun with these books. Expanding students' home and school libraries will be a gift that keeps on giving. Stories about friendship, nature, and adventures will make their way to each student's home. Students will have choices of books to read at their leisure.

Access to literature will allow my students to explore and use their imaginations.

Each student will receive some books to keep and read along to at home.

Please help me gift my students with the joy of endless possibilities and adventures with these books. They love to listen to stories and I love reading to them. This project will help make it possible during our virtual learning.
