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 am looking for some help on getting a class set of books for my amazing students! Unfortunately books are not provided for me and most of the time I have to buy materials with my own money. My students are in ELD 3 English and are striving in learning the English language. For this unit we will be reading Romeo and Juliet the graphic novel. I believe that this novel will help them understand cultural and family identity. I want to provide the best education for my students! Thank you for all your help!
