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 students love to learn about different places all over the world. We need new books for our CKLA units in reading. We would like to have diverse books to add more knowledge as we learn about others.

Reading increases my student's imaginations.

My students love to learn more about the topics that we cover in class. We need new books for our Fairy Tales and Tall Tales, and Early Asian Civilizations units. I want to provide several resources so my students can research and read independently about what we are learning about in class. Please help us build our library!
