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

We need your help! Our classroom library needs a neutral makeover. Books are falling off the shelves and getting lost in oversized buckets. The supplies we are requesting will transform our library. The supplies we are requesting will transform our library from a crazy mess of rainbow-colored buckets to a sophisticated and easily accessible resource. With buckets that are uniform in color, shape, and size our classroom library will become more easily accessible and organized. This will reduce the frustration students face when trying to locate a "just right" book, return books, and increase the longevity of our books. The pandemic really impacted our reading proficiency and we need books that reflect our current learning and allow all readers to feel successful while growing.
