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

Some of my students lack access to reading materials at home—resources that would allow them to read, learn, and explore the world through literature beyond their own community. I would like to provide Time magazine for my students to read during independent reading time at school and to take home for continued learning.

I believe that exposure to diverse reading materials and a wide range of topics will not only improve their reading skills but also broaden their understanding of the world.

Your support can help create a richer learning experience for my students, both in and out of the classroom.
