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 need engaging reading books to use during our independent reading time, as well as to take home to share with their families. For many of my students, our classroom library is their only access to quality books. To continue to foster this love of learning, we need additional books.

My students need quality books to take home nightly to read.

They can take their excitement for reading home to their families. This will help them continue to grow their love of reading.

You will help to instill the love of reading in a child, and that is one of the greatest gifts you can give a young learner. Please consider making a positive difference in the life of a child and enhance their learning experience. Thank you so much.
