Multilingual Books for Our Classroom Library!

Help me give my students new multicultural books for our multilingual classroom library.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Costello's classroom raised $463

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

Supporting this project means you are helping me give my multilingual students more choices in our classroom library. It is important to have novel study choices in a variety of languages so that all of my students feel seen. This project includes novel sets for novel studies and a variety of books in Spanish to add to my Spanish section. I am working to build my collection over the years so that all students can find books of interest to them and feel included in our classroom. With your support, we can make it happen!
