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

My students are passionate about reading! Due to the COVID pandemic, a lot of our old books went home with students so they could continue reading from home. This year, our library is scarce and needs to be replenished.

These books will help my little readers continue on their literacy journey and make reading fun while expanding their vocabulary!

Many of my students don't have books at home and they rely on our classroom library for their reading. Please help us build our library back up again and provide a spelling station using the Speak and Spell interactive tool!
