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

Do you remember reading while listening to a book on tape? Did you love sitting on the carpet while your teacher read a Big Book? This is essential to developing reading skills and is so much fun! We need Spanish Big Books and English books on cd! Want to help?

We are a dynamic campus of inspired learners and teachers.

I teach bilingual kindergarten in a Title I school. All of my students are limited-English-proficient, at-risk and from low socio-economic backgrounds. I know that these students are fully capable of being successful, fluent readers in both English and Spanish.

My Project

We need Spanish translations of Big Books for shared group reading as well as English books on CD's for our listening center. Exposure to these books in Spanish will help improve my students' reading skills and fluency, and they love listening to the books. Kindergarteners feel like big kids when they can independently read and book, and they are learning at the same time! It is so important to have these resources available for them in both languages, but we simply don't have adequate materials in Spanish, and audio books are simply expensive and hard to find.

Your gift can provide countless hours of reading for my students now and for years to come.

These books and Cd's are an invaluable resource and are essential to my students' Spanish and English reading skills. Please consider giving to our project. You can be a part of the education of a child.
