Help me give my students a Kindle to select the right story at the right moment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Menchaca's classroom raised $287

This project is fully funded

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 have a wonderful group of 22 students. Every day and without exception, they come to school happy and eager to learn.

Reading is their thing!

My Kindergarteners enjoy going to the school library and to our own little library. They understand the importance of Reading at their very young age.

With your valuable donation, my students will be able to enjoy a wide variety of books electronically. The Kindle will help them to increase their reading skills and reading comprehension with just a button. They will select the right story at the right time!
