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

My class consists of 1st—3rd grade Special Education Life Skills students who enjoy listening to read aloud using the Novel Effect app and spending time in our library area.

Your donations will help provide the students with new books to display around the classroom during certain holidays and give the students an opportunity to read in our library after they finish their work.

The new book choices will help my diverse students practice their reading skills and how to hold and care for our new class books correctly.
