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

Every day students tell us that they hate reading. Often it is because they just haven't found a book that interests them. My goal is to provide books for students to check out from our class library that is currently popular in their class. These are books that I see other students reading and students have shown an interest in reading.

My goal is to change the narrative from, "I hate to read" to "Can I borrow this book Ms. Graham?" A part of assisting students to become literate is to help them discover where their interests lie and encourage them to pursue those interests.

I frequently provide books for my classroom library with my personal income. I greatly appreciate any assistance you can offer.
