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 am a teacher of wonderful, curious, and eager learners who love to read science fiction. Thankfully, I found a great series which features children they can relate to. All we need to complete our book study is the last book of the Dragons in a Bag series.

For the last two school years, my class has been reading this amazing science fiction fantasy series by Zetta Elliot.

We have read books 1-4. My students are eager to read book 5 to see how the series ends. We would greatly appreciate any donations to make this happen!
