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’m excited to start the New Year 2025 with new books. When my 4th graders enter my room, I want them to see my love of reading. I want to help develop their love for reading and help them learn that it can be fun and doesn’t require 200 pages to be considered reading.

I have selected books in different genres, Spanish and English, nonfiction books to learn about various artists, and musicians, and hobbies and books to support equity.

I've chosen fresh books to keep the bookshelf attractive and appealing to my students.

Mrs. Zelasco PS 73X Bronx Grades 3-5

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
