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
I teach reading to students of all levels. It has been an amazing year! My students have made connections to so many characters and are always ready to read. This year, we are in full swing of book clubs, and the kids love it!
My students love to create projects for their book club books, and ink is essential in creating these projects.
Your donation will help me continue to provide my students with the materials they need.
Book clubs happen every day, and each group is reading a different book and having the right materials is key to their success.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
