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

Reading opens doors to imagination, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. My students are eager learners with bright minds. By providing engaging novels, you will help build a classroom library where students can develop a love for reading, strengthen literacy skills, and explore new perspectives. With a full set of books, we can read together as a class, ensuring that every student has their own copy to follow along, engage deeply with the text, and participate in meaningful discussions. Your support will make a lasting impact on their learning journey!

These books will serve as powerful tools to enhance comprehension, vocabulary, and discussion skills.

With a variety of novels, students will be able to see themselves in stories, connect with diverse characters, and experience the joy of getting lost in a book. The ability to read widely and deeply will empower them in all subjects, setting them up for success beyond the classroom.
