Read Across America

Help me give my students the opportunity to celebrate and fully enjoy reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mejia Cardona's classroom raised $252

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

Each year, we celebrate Read Across America with Dr. Seuss books and fun themed activities to go along with it. Our students have so much fun while reading and writing about the book, they forget that they're learning!

Reading is fun and this project is proof.

I am requesting Dr. Seuss books that I will read to our students during the week of Read Across America. Our students will be completing fun and engaging reading, art, and writing activities to accompany the books.

Shared reading experiences is what develops a life-long love of reading!
