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

These books will provide my students, particularly those who need an extra challenge, with a variety of texts that not only build their reading stamina but also expand their academic vocabulary. As they delve into these captivating stories, they will have the opportunity to explore different worlds, concepts, and ideas, fostering a love for reading that is crucial for their academic success.

My goal for this project is to cultivate an environment where reading becomes an adventure, sparking curiosity and engagement among my students.

By providing them with access to diverse chapter books, I aim to instill a lifelong passion for literature and learning. Each book will serve as a gateway to new knowledge and critical thinking skills, empowering my students to connect with the material on a deeper level. What makes my students truly special is their eagerness to learn and their unique perspectives. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring their own stories to our classroom, making each reading experience a chance to broaden their horizons and develop empathy. Your generous contributions will help transform their reading journey, making a lasting difference in their educational path.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in my students' futures. Together, we can help them unlock their potential and discover the joys of reading.
