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

These specific books will make a big difference to my new students. I have taught second grade for 15 years and am now being moved to third grade to help those student work to their best potential and shine on their state tests. With the change in grade and room, I find myself without the grade level appropriate texts the students in grade 3 need to excel. With your help and generosity I will be able to successfully provide the students with books of interest to them, and develop a love of reading in the process.
