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

Middle schoolers love having new books to read, especially if they are able to relate to the characters. Many of the books in this project are written specifically for middle schoolers. Many of my students have worked hard and are ready for more challenging books.

Help me continue to fuel their literary thirst with new books for spring.

Student award certificates are also included to be able to recognize students for academic achievement this year. Students also need a new pencil every so often and batteries for the classroom clocks.
