Help me give my students a variety of books to help cultivate their love of reading.

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! The books that I am requesting are carefully selected to align with my students' interests and needs. This project also includes notebooks and memory books that will allow students to reflect on their achievements and growth throughout the school year, promoting self-esteem and a positive learning environment.

My students come from diverse backgrounds, so it's essential to provide them with books that they can relate to and see themselves in. By having a variety of books available, my students will feel represented and motivated to read more.
