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

Reading is a unique experience. There is nothing better than getting comfy with the perfect book. "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"

Do you remember when you were learning how to read, and you could not wait to read books?

Well, I have a room full of students who would like to do just that! This project will help bring a variety of new and fun books into our classroom library for my students to explore and enjoy all while developing as readers.

I am also requesting decodable books and a teacher's guide to reading to help my scholars practice and master reading skills!

Please help me continue fostering the love of reading by adding new titles to our growing classroom library.
