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

I'm a 4th grade teacher excited to create a welcoming and inspiring space for my students to learn and grow. We’re starting our library from scratch, and I want to build a space filled with books that will capture my students' hearts, fuel their imaginations, and help them develop into strong, confident readers. We are building our very first classroom library — and we need your help to make it happen!

With your support, we can fill our classroom library with books that meet a wide range of interests and reading levels.

I want students to walk into our classroom and feel excited to pick up a book — whether they love graphic novels, funny chapter books, nonfiction about animals, or stories that help them see themselves in the pages.

Ms. Diaz will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 6.
