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

Please support my students in having access to diverse texts that are new, exciting, and most importantly - RELATABLE! Representation matters in our school - we have students who come from all walks of life and desire to be seen. These books range in reading levels so that all students can have access to reading texts that reflect the life they and their families live. Students will be able to use these texts in school as well as take home to read.

These books will allow all readers in our diverse student population to read texts they can relate to and feel seen - representation matters in literacy!

My students will appreciate your contributions to these amazing texts.

Ms. Izumi PS 143 Louis Armstrong Grades 3-5
