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 some of the most hardworking, imaginative kids you’ll ever meet. They ask big questions, dream big dreams, and deserve a classroom full of opportunities to explore. What makes them special is their determination—they don’t give up, even when things get tough.

A well-stocked classroom library will give them the tools they need to grow as readers.

These books will offer choice, encourage curiosity, and support a wide range of reading levels and interests. Whether they’re just beginning to build their confidence or ready to dive into new genres, every student will benefit from having access to high-quality, engaging texts right at their fingertips.
