Take Me To Mexico!

My students need books about Mexico.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lewis's classroom raised $327

This project is fully funded

My Students

Most of my students have not had the opportunity to travel. Books about Mexico can help them have the experience of learning about another country, without traveling there.

My students are the best!

They love reading non-fiction books to learn more about the world around them. We have been studying continents and the students expressed an interest in North America and the country of Mexico. They want to learn more about how people live in Mexico.

My Project

My students will use the books to help complete a research project. We will work together to learn about the food, culture, clothing, holidays, and schools in Mexico. We will use the books to compare and contrast the country we live in and the country that is our neighbor to the south.

Your donation of books, all about Mexico, will help my students to learn more about Mexico and the world around them.

The non-fiction books will help them to travel to another country they may never have the opportunity to do on their own.
