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

I love that my students enjoy reading and listening to stories! Reading exercises the mind, enhances imagination, and is the most fulfilling way to master language. It is never too early to learn to read and there are amazing ways it will benefit my transitional kindergartners.

My current classroom lacks a library, so my goal is to create a space for my young students to cozy up and discover the joy of reading.

With the help of donations, I can begin to establish a library with a variety of books beginning with the sets I have requested.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
