Multi-Cultural Books for My 2nd Graders!

Help me give my students some special, multi-cultural books for next school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elkhay's classroom raised $360

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

In second grade, students will be learning about all different cultures. Help build my classroom library by adding these books to it. I want to expose my students to as many different cultures as possible.

Diversity is so important in schools today.

Help me teach my students all about the differences and similarities between different cultures.

My students are special because they are so eager to learn new things. These new books will help them have an actual book in their hand to read as opposed to being on a laptop and reading there. I want to make sure I have enough books for all of my students.
