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

The project funding will allow for books to be in the hands of all of my students. Hopefully, they will gain a love of reading by holding their own copy while we learn about characters, settings, plot, problems and solutions by reading the books

The books will help them learn character development, conflicts, and resolutions.

The units will allow for a deeper understanding of the reading genres - historical fiction and realistic fiction.

Developing a love for reading is the ultimate goal for this specific project. The students and I will appreciate your donations.

Ms. McQuinn will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 7.
