Help me give my students the gift of books to utilize in our classroom and at home. The books will be used through independent reading and read-aloud.

Celebrating 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
We all know reading a lot is key to a child's learning. Children enjoy reading new books, learning from them, engaging their imaginations, and building their reading skills. In order to accomplish this, a classroom must have many options that are rich in diversity, content, language, levels, and themes.
With a classroom library that is diverse, accessible, and at their level, my students can engage in books that will not only build their reading skills but will enhance their knowledge of the world around them, and build empathy in their lives.
The books I have chosen help to meet the student's needs in regards to content being taught in the classroom as well as giving students the chance to read about mindfulness, and inclusivity, and are relatable to a wide range of students. The books I have chosen include a wide range of themes and levels. This would make sure that there is something that appeals to every student.
I will not just have the books available to read for students in a library setting in my classroom, but I will choose a book each week of the school year, and we will read them together as a class and cultivate classroom discussions, activities, and allow instruction such as writing and social studies to be themed to the book which provides a high level of student engagement.
