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 4th graders are a group of wonderful, multilingual students and diverse learners. At school, these students have the opportunity to gain access to reading materials that will support their growth in English and their reading and writing skills. These students deserve to have a library that reflects their interests and their own lives.

These books will not only teach them, but they will also open up their world to new dreams, opportunities, and adventures.

Students need books they love to motivate and push themselves to read more and continue to challenge themselves. With these books, these students will have the fuel to find greatness in reading and writing and use those skills to propel them towards bright futures.
