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

Our fourth grade dual language immersion class would love to have inspirational books be added to our class library. We have a very small class library that consists of books that have been well loved, but would be extremely grateful to have new hardcover books that will last for a long time.

We hope to spark interest in students by giving them the opportunity and ability to explore influential leaders in a variety of ways and by offering them fun incentives for reading!

Please support through the addition of the series of Brad Meltzer's "Ordinary People Change the World". These informational reads are fun for students as they provide important figures in an easy to read format. Students are captivated and excited to learn! Along with the books, we have also added a few class needs that would best support our students literacy journey! Thank you for your support!
