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

I love the energy and excitement that my preschoolers bring to school each day. It's fantastic to see them rush through our arrival gate and greet their peers and me with smiles, waves, and hellos.

I want to provide my students with durable board books that capture and hold their attention; board books that are bright and colorful; board books that help build positive reading behaviors.

Board books are better suited for my preschoolers' little hands. These books have thick cardboard pages and make it easier for them to turn to the next page.

Your support will help my students successfully explore books without ripping the pages. Thank you for your consideration.
