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

Our amazing 3rd graders have loved learning about animals this year and have shown a great curiousity to penguins. These sometimes relunctant readers have been rushing to our classroom library to find books about penguins and are do disappointed to not find them.

Help me give them books to read and learn about penguins.

Not only will this support their in class learning but they will also be able to take them home over winter break and share with family. Additionally your support in providing some penguin themed items to reward them for their perseverence would be great appreciated.
