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 would like to help my students create a home library. I am requesting books for my students to start their library at home. I would like them to have easy to read books, just right books, and chapter books in their collections. Books that are fun, engaging, and easy to read.

A book is a gift that you can open again and again.

I am requesting Mo Willems books that are easy and fun to read. Dogman and CatKid chapter books that are humorous. I Can Read books are books that are in levels. Level 1 is first grade level and level 2 is at second grade. These books would be perfect for my beginners and my at grade level readers. I hope with these books my students can start their home library. Thank you for your donation, support, and dedication to public education! We appreciate your kindness!!
