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.

I teach 2nd grade students in a high-need district located in New Jersey. My students' reading levels vary from way below grade level to above grade level.

Many of my students do not have books of their own at home, therefore, I would like to provide them with a wide range of books that they may use and borrow from my classroom. In my classroom, I have incorporated a Reading Club. Year after year, I have seen my students really fall in love with and get very excited about reading. Unfortunately, by the middle of the year, they have pretty much read everything in my classroom library. I'm looking to enhance our classroom library by adding more books and storage for them.

We need more exciting and interesting storybooks and chapter books for our classroom library, as well as some storage (a bookshelf) to keep them organized.

Your help and generosity will help my students experience the adventures and joy that can happen when you read. I also hope that through your donation, I will be able to better instill a love for reading in my students that will continue as they grow up.
