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 Students

My students left for spring break in March, never knowing we wouldn't have another day in our classroom. We didn't return the following week and moved into distance learning.

I miss my students and would love to provide items they don't have at home.

We use the Seesaw platform, where students are sent math, ELA, and science activities each weekday. We are allowed to Zoom with students once a week, but I've only had 2-4 students attend these past 2 weeks. I know my students could use some books to read at home.

My Project

My students loved to read and were always excited to have new books from guided reading groups, visiting the school library, and from our classroom library. Now that we are doing distance learning, books are scarce.

I would love to provide my students with books, at their level, to read at home.

The book set I'm requesting has level 1, 2, 3, and 4 books. There will be the right level books for each student in my class. With 50 books, I will be able to provide each child with several books of their own to keep.
