Celebrating 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
Seeing is believing. The following books are a collection of novels and graphic novels to enhance our classroom library. My 7th and 8th-grade students are an amazing group of individuals.
In a time where technology is king, help me put a physical copy of a book back in the hands of all my students.
Due to generous donations, we have started a classroom library and are looking to add a variety of graphic novels to the list. All donations will be used directly by students for book reports, character analysis, and the joy of reading.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
and 11 other donors.
