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

My 5th graders are at an age where they’re beginning to notice and question the world around them. They see issues like racism, bullying, mental health, and inequality in their communities and even in their own lives. They are curious, thoughtful, and full of questions, but finding age-appropriate ways to explore these important topics can be challenging. The "A Kids Book About" series tackles these tough conversations with honesty, empathy, and accessibility, giving kids the tools they need to better understand the complex issues they face.

These books will help foster meaningful dialogue, encourage empathy, and empower my students to think critically about how they can make a positive impact in their world.

By bringing this series into our classroom, I aim to create a safe and supportive space where my students can openly discuss these critical topics. Your support will provide them with the resources they need to grow not just as learners but as compassionate and informed individuals. Together, we can ensure that their questions are met with understanding and their voices are heard. Any donation amount is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to share my project link! Thank you!
