My Project

I am requesting books in Spanish, including Wings of Fire (graphic novel) and non-fiction books about oceans and animals at a variety of reading levels. I've also requested some easy readers in Spanish for my 4th grade readers who are more dominant in English, I hope that this will encourage them to read more in their second language. My bilingual and new-to-country students will love to read the books in Spanish that we already have... we just need more.

We read every day.

Staying excited about reading takes books! As the classroom teacher, I want to provide students access to books that are diverse and engaging. My students will love to read these high-interest books in Spanish.

A great library is essential for a classroom. A great library includes diverse books. Great books matter. Thank you for considering our project.
