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

I am requesting books that my students can enjoy. They love playing Minecraft and I want to give them books that are interesting to them. I am also asking for book bins where my students can store their books. We need to take care of the books that we check out from the school library and our classroom library. Having books bins on our tables for easy access will help us keep the books safe and organized.

Books and book bins are needed to keep books organized and ready to read.

I want to provide my students with sturdy book bins where my students can have easy access to their library books because I want them to read every chance they have throughout the day. Please help me provide them with sturdy book bins. Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and donations to our classroom project.
