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.

I teach kindergarten in a low-income, high-need area. My school is a Title I Alabama Reading Initiative School. My school consists of 74% free and reduced lunch and where 42 % of its students come from ethnic backgrounds. My students love to listen to me as I read them stories, especially factual books. That is why I am asking for books to support our thematic units.

I love being able to teach from children's picture books. Books are such a valuable tool for teaching and learning. My students love to see real pictures in books that show exactly what I am reading about. For example, if we are talking about a particular spider and what kind of web it spins, they think it is awesome to see a real picture of that particular spider. We want more books that give factual information with real pictures.

My classroom needs a library of non-fiction stories to help us learn important information. Having these books will allow me to share more information with my students, which in return will give them the knowledge to become successful learners.

Your generosity will give my students a library full of books to facilitate their learning. Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal and for being interested in helping our students to take their education to a higher level.
