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

By supporting this project, you’ll be providing my 2nd grade students with a diverse selection of engaging fiction and nonfiction books. The fiction titles will captivate their imaginations and build a love for storytelling, while the nonfiction books will feed their curiosity, expand their knowledge, and support our curriculum in meaningful ways.

With a variety of genres and topics, students will have the opportunity to choose books that match their interests and reading levels, helping them grow as confident, motivated readers!

In addition to these valuable reading materials, your donation will help create a cozy, welcoming environment by funding meditation chairs that turn our library area into a comfortable, student-friendly reading nook. These soft, inviting chairs encourage kids to settle in, focus, and enjoy uninterrupted reading time!
