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

Help me bring the love of reading into the classroom by helping purchase fun books, comfortable places to read, as well as a bookcase to show off the books!

My students need the motivation to want to read.

This project helps to allow the students to be excited about new books by enticing them to use the new flexible seating while reading.

The wide variety of books allows the students to be able to choose books that appeal to them, as well as varying levels, to reach my readers of all abilities.
