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

As one of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes says, "The more you read, the more places you`ll go!" Please help me create a space where students can expand their knowledge and ignite their imaginations!

Your donation will help me create a cozy space for students to instruct their minds and also find a love for reading!

I currently teach a group of students with special needs, and this project will greatly help them with their reading fluency and enhance their comprehension skills.

My main goal for creating this space is to build a habit of reading so that my students will find joy in reading. My students and I thank you in advance!
