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

Hello, thank you for reading about our project. Next school year I have been hired to teach the wonderful 4th grade! I am asking for wonderful chapter books that I will have in class for my students to enjoy.

Reading opens the door to new adventures!

My students are bilingual and are able to read in both English and Spanish. I am asking for a mix of books this way students have the opportunity to read a variety of books in both languages.

My students come from a low income community, but they eager to come to school and learn something new every single day! By having a library inside of our classroom it will motivate my students to read books more often. It is hard for us to visit the library so often due to testing and curriculum pacing. Please help me build a wonderful BILINGUAL library for these kids.
