FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Chavez-Quinonez's classroom raised $335

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

The books I am requesting will inspire my students to learn about the world around them while giving our classroom library a much needed boost in books. All the books I have chosen are multicultural books that my students can relate to, whether it be windows into others lives or mirrors reflecting into their own lives.

New books bring a whole new world to my students and into our classroom.

With this project I hope to bring all of this excitement into the classroom and get my students excited to listen to read alouds while learning about about others! Please make a donation to help bring these wonderful and engaging books into our Dual Immersion classroom!
