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

Please help me give my students easy access to books. One area that they love being in the classroom is the library nook area. I want to continue the love for learning and reading. Reading is such an important fundamental right and I am sure with these books they will read them daily. These books will teach students how to be kind, respectful, fair, and value each others culture. Books are such a valuable resource that each student need to have access to them. Again thank you for spending some time out of your busy day to look at our project!
