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.

Hi!! I am a fifth grade teacher of all subjects in New Jersey. The school in which I teach is located in a low socio-economic area with a high population of English Language Learners although diverse.

We seek a library of books by the author Bobbi Kalman. These books cover all areas of science such as earth science and life science. Some titles include "Insect Bodies" and "Bats" among many, many others. I currently have a few copies of this series and they are filled with excellent photographs and diagrams, with large print. The children love these non-fiction books. They can be used for our science studies and throughout the year for reading and writing as well. The possibilities are endless!

By having these books available, I can make learning science a real, authentic experience for my students. In addition, we can study Bobbi Kalman as an author during our non-fiction study in reading and writing.

We would be extremely grateful if you could make our wish come true! Thank you for taking us into consideration!!
