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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

95% of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Reading materials are not always readily available to them as well as someone to read to them. I would like to share the experience of an all-class read with each of my students having a book in hand to read along as I read.

These books will enhance my classroom library for years to come.

My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunity to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. Students will also use supplies such as markers to complete lessons that go along with the books as well as create their own bookmarks.
