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

We would love to have a library in our classroom. Our second grade class is looking to build a classroom library from scratch. Though we have a great library at our school, we would benefit having more books available at our fingertips. These second graders will enjoy reading a range of topics from engaging literature by famous authors, to science topics about animals, habitats and weather. This library set includes several chapter book series. This library will also support the Accelerated Reading program that we have at our school. Thank you for supporting our students and getting more books into the hands of children!
