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

It's time to replenish books in our classroom library. My students have been consuming and checking out books all year in my classroom. Here is an opportunity to bring new content to them. They are interested in the latest best selling books for youth. They also like a range of topics.

They want to read about people who look like them.

My students like mysteries and mythology. They like intrigue and fantasy. I plan to expose them to as much best selling fiction and nonfiction as possible. This can't happen without your help.
