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 have a highly requested manga book series that my students are eager to read. "A Man and His Cat" books 1-12 is a book series that I would like to make available to my students in my classroom library. I truly love fulfilling book request that my students give me and this is the latest series that is being requested.

I am a lover of books and want to pass on this love of books and reading to each and everyone of my students.

In order to do this, I must have highly engaging books to hook my students into the love of reading. This book series is one of those engaging series. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity in funding this project.
