Books for Students to Read at Home or School

Help me give my students books to read in our classroom and home, many of my students have no books at home and our school library has outdated books. I want to teach my kids a love for reading.

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

Many of my students have no books at home. It is proven that students who read at home and school everyday become better readers and have better success in every subject. I would like to give my students options to show them that reading is interesting and fun! My hope is to develop a love of learning and literacy in my students.

Our school does have a school library, however it is outdated.

Many of the books are old books or falling apart. I would like to build up a better classroom library that students have the option to borrow from, and read books they enjoy. If you choose my project, these books will be setup in our classroom for students to use and build their literacy skills, as well as their love for reading.
