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 Students

We are readers! We read everyday. We want to grow as readers this year.

My second graders come from low income homes.

They come to school eager to learn but often lack the resources at home to support and encourage their drive. Many of my students lack a permanent home and family life is tumultuous at best. These students need a positive influence in their life wherever they can get it. A donation from a complete stranger would truly show them the support and kindness they need.

My Project

Imagine a library full of books. These great titles will be added to our classroom library. My students will be able to check out these books from the library to use for their daily reading. These books will also be used to read with small groups and read aloud to the class.

Help make reading come alive in my classroom.

More books in a classroom means more reading. Having a variety of books to appeal to unique readers helps them build their love of reading. Please donate to help bring books to my classroom.
