Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
As a first year teacher, I hardy have any read aloud books. I usually borrow books from the library or other teachers. I want to start my own library with fun and engaging books to read aloud to my students. My students love when I read books to them and are always engaged when I am reading to them. With your help I can start my own library with books I can read to my students. My students enjoy picture book and books that they can relate to. With your help I can foster their love for read aloud and books.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
