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

Providing my students with the proper skills and abilities to be life-long readers is my goal as a teacher. My students work daily to achieve mastery of the skills we practice.

The books I am requesting will help provide the practice of many literacy components that my students need in order to become confident and successful readers.

Through this donation my students will be able to learn, practice, and master reading comprehension skills, writing and grammar skills, and expand their vocabulary which will enable them to become strong proficient readers.
