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

Studies show that the best way to support students in becoming strong readers is to continue to increase opportunities to access high-interest books. This project requests high-interest, high-quality books for our classroom library. These are series my students already love and are always checked out: Arthur, Clifford, Narwal & Jelly, and Barenstein Bears. High-interest books will hook those readers who struggle to find a book they really enjoy. Quality books will require the students to think a little harder and dig a bit deeper into their stories. These are important reading strategies that the students will be able to carry with them throughout their lives. Therefore, the more high-interest, high-quality books we have in our classroom library, the more the students will be able to read, and learn, at a higher level! Thank you in advance for considering to donate to our project.
