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

Hi,

I am asking for donations for my bare bookshelf.

Unfortunately, the books I currently own are not appealing to my students, they need new books! I would like to revamp my bookshelf for students to read during class or at home for fun. My students' reading levels vary greatly which is why there are different types & levels of books.

I also added a Bluetooth speaker that will allow me to play the "READ-ALOUD" version of a book for my students. At times, my students need to read a text multiple times to comprehend it. Instead of having my students get frustrated because they have to reread the text, I can play the read-aloud version for them.
