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

My students love to come to the library. They love checking out and looking at books. With the book bins, I can make sure this happens.

Instilling the love of reading is my passion.

Setting up the library up so that all grades can see books is a huge step in this direction. The clear tubs will ensure that the kids are not missing any titles. It also helps with the organization of the library.

I also love giving the students bookmarks when we start checking out books. The kids love them!

To print high quality learning material for the kids, toner is needed all year long.
