Help me give my students the joy of reading Spanish informational and literary books in their first language!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Resendez's classroom raised $319

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

My students have a few Spanish books in our classroom library, so we are hoping to receive a variety of informational National Geographic Kids and their favorite Magic Treehouse books.

With these fun and informational Spanish books, my students will have the opportunity to reach their reading goals.

Help me fund my project to give students the chance to read books in their first language. The National Geographic Kids books will surely inform my Spanish speaking student on many topics. The Magic Treehouse books will transport them to many literary worlds. With your help, students will be able to choose books in their first language, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
