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 goal for this project is to have engaging books for our Early World Civilization Units in 1st grade. My students are extremely interested in our new units and have been asking for additional books!

My 1st-grade students need your support to explore the world through additional books for our social studies units.

These books will not only enhance their understanding of history and diversity but also inspire a lifelong love for learning. Your generous donation will make a lasting impact on their educational journey. Thank you in advance for your support!
