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

My students are eager readers who thrive when they see themselves and their cultures represented in the stories they read. By providing them with a diverse collection of books, I aim to foster a love of reading, enhance their cultural awareness, and create a more inclusive classroom environment. These books will not only support their literacy development but also celebrate their unique identities and histories.

Your generous contribution will help build a library of culturally relevant books that inspire, educate, and empower my students.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and making a difference in the lives of young readers.
