Visibility Through Books-Expanding my Spanish Classroom Library

Help me give my students a diverse selection of books to read from.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Torres's classroom raised $805

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 dual language teacher with the privilege to work with bright bilingual students who critically think about the world around them. As such, representation and learning about their history becomes important to help them form their own opinions about our world.

Books are a window to the world, but most importantly, they can be mirrors in our lives.

By helping me expand my Spanish classroom library, my students can have options to continue to develop the language with fun and engaging books, learning about their history and culture and popular series in Spanish.
