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

As a first year teacher, I am always thinking about how to instill my love for books into my classroom. I do that best by trying to bring new books that reflect them into their library but I need your support! Scholars have at least 20-40 minutes a day for independent reading time. Our library is currently filled with older books that students don't have a primary interest for. Our scholars also need books for all leveled readers within the classroom, that we unfortunately don't have the supplies for.

My scholars are always so much more engaged when they have a diverse options to choose from.

By donating to the class library, you would be helping build a love for literacy and reading within scholars. These books, such as Junie B. Jones and The Baby Sitters Club, are titles directly requested from the students. I want to show students know reading can be fun when you choose your books at your reading level and those that you actually want to read.
