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 Students

My students are learning to love to read. However, I do not have enough books to keep them reading.

I teach third grade at a remarkable school full of happy students.

My students come from high poverty situations. I have several students who are learning to speak English and/or have special needs. They all want to read but I don't have enough books!

My Project

I am requesting 1 set of A to Z Mysteries, 1 set of Henry and Mudge, and 1 set of Junie B. Jones books. These wonderful chapter books will provide my students with countless opportunities to enjoy literature in the classroom and at home. I have requested series that I know my students will love and want to read ever single one. The more books they read, the more they will want to read.

Your help will impact the learning and success of thirty-three wonderfully eager students this year, and countless more in the years to come.

Please choose my project and, together, we can help my students be strong readers!
