True Stories for Young Readers!

Help me give my students new and engaging NonFiction Books to read in our library!

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

Our students love to read books filled with interesting facts. Many of the nonfiction books in our library are outdated and worn out. We need to refresh this section with the fun and engaging nonfiction books that students want to read.

The library is a place for learning and exploration, and nonfiction books help foster student's natural inquiry!

The books in our list are written in a fun and engaging manner that students will want to read and read. While reading, they will also be learning interesting facts about science, history, and the world around them. Help us add these fun nonfiction books to our library!
