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

My students need access to books they love! Since almost all of the students at my school receive free or reduced price lunch, they may have limited access to the books they love and want to read at home. Their primary source for getting books to read is our school library. They work hard every day to learn what is required and then some. Reading for pleasure is an important part of becoming a lifelong reader. These books are what they "enjoy" reading. Please help me instill a love of reading in my students.

Finding books that are not considered by the students to be "old," "boring," or "ugh" is always a challenge.

We're competing with the fast-paced world of social media and the short, immediacy of apps like Tik Tok. My students need books that are meaningful to them - books that will engage and inspire them. I have hand-selected book titles that I know will make my students passionate about reading time.

The titles are all engaging and are popular choices for the students in my school.

These stories have engaging plots that can easily capture a student's interest and show that that reading does not have to be a chore.

The magic of a good book is only steps away.

With the generosity of donors like YOU, my dream of instilling a love of learning will reach my current and future students. I can't wait.

Ms. A. PS 102 Bayview Grades 6-8
