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 don´t always have access to books at home and thrive on structure and organization. I have been working to build a classroom library that is diverse and full of books that are just right for them. My students spend a lot of their time searching for books instead of actually READING! I want to provide them with ease of access to the world of books and this project was created to do just that. Every year my students set a goal for reading stamina time and to help them find books that they love quicker, I need help getting my library organized.
