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

Help my class follow new adventures. They can relate to student problems and real-life science fiction scenarios. It’s fun for students to relate to different stories and find themselves in the character's position. They will be exposed to different stories and will have fun at the same time, also these books will expose them to phonics. Read-aloud time is my students' favorite time of the day. This donation will help them acquire new vocabulary that is necessary for their academic and life experiences. This donation will help them build a love for reading and a gift for life.
