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

Students will be able to enjoy books at their fingertips. Having a classroom library can be fun and exciting when learning to read. Imagination has no limits when reading a great book. My students love to read and enjoy sitting in the library during free time or when completing their work early. But a library isn't any fun without any books. Being a first year teacher has been hard when I don't have any books for the kids to read. Please help me make this dream come true. Let help students learn to love reading.
