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

In our 1st grade classroom, reading isn’t just a subject—it’s an adventure! I’m working to build a classroom library filled with books that truly excite and engage my students, and I need your help to make that happen.

This project will bring in new, high-interest books like Dog Man, Cat Kid Comic Club, and Junie B.

Jones—stories my students ask for again and again. These books help even my most reluctant readers feel excited about reading time. They are funny, relatable, and packed with just the right amount of challenge to help students grow as readers.

By adding fresh titles to our classroom library, I’m creating a reading space where every student can find a book they love—whether they’re just starting to decode or already devouring chapter books. Your support will put books into the hands of curious young minds and help foster a lifelong love of reading.

Thank you for helping me spark joy, confidence, and imagination through books!
