Ms. Campos from Chula Vista, CA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

See what Ms. Campos is requesting

Mindful Student Historians in the classroom. Research, Learn, and Grow.

Help me give my students library full of books to access for mindful growing readers in History/Biographies and Social Emotional Learning.

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

Students will have direct access daily to get books from the classroom on the Biographies and SEL topics, and this will make a difference in daily learning. They will not have to wait weekly to check out books in the library. We are requesting titles such as Who Was...?, Children’s Biography

Crabtree Black History Biographies, and The Story of Strong Black Women: Story of Inspiring Biographies for Young Readers)5 Book Box Set:

Students will become more aware of research and reading with a book in hand. They will be able to sit and read about a new person they have never met in history.

My students are special because they are growing readers seeking easily accessible books in the bookcase in the classroom.
