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

Middle School readers love to read drama! Mystery! Sports! Please help me purchase books to read with my 6, 7, 8th graders. Let's get kids excited to read, learn new words, and make their brains synergize! I look forward to filling my shelf and reading with students with high interest books.

Many students have said reading is their favorite block of the school day because they get to read books about teens like themselves that go through challenges and explore and express life in new ways.
