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 am seeking assistance in creating a classroom library to provide my students with a diverse selection of books that will inspire a love for reading, enhance their literacy skills, and foster a deeper understanding of the world around them.

A well-stocked classroom library is essential in offering students the opportunity to explore various genres, authors, and topics that align with their interests and learning needs.

Unfortunately, due to limited resources, I am unable to fully build a collection that meets the needs of all my students.

With support in gathering more books, I can create an inviting and accessible environment that encourages independent reading, supports classroom activities, and helps students of all reading levels thrive.
