Celebrating 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
Learning to become a better reader can be fun! I am creating a library of inspiration and motivation at the front of my classroom for students to visit and explore during choice reading time. My goal is to gather a variety of books that range in reading levels and themes to help meet the various needs and interests of my students. My students are inquisitive learners who are very eager to develop their literacy skills. They love exploring manga comics, art, poetry, sports, among many other topics. I love when my students are able to experience joy and excitement from reading, and I want to provide them with as many opportunities for that as possible in my classroom.
By donating to my library of inspiration and motivation you are helping my students experience joy, excitement, and confidence while reading!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
