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 throughout the year have been checking out some of the books in this project from our school library and have encountered problems waiting for the next book. If this project is funded, the books that my students love to read will all be available in my own classroom and readily available for them to continue the series.

I have also added a few Spanish books to this project to be able to grow my Spanish book collection.

I have many English Learners who can also read in their native language as well as newcomers who can only read in Spanish. This will allow them to participate in reading to others or reading to themselves.

There are boxes of Kleenex as well, as it has been a winter filled with different viruses/colds and we have been going through a lot of tissues and will help stock up to hopefully last till the end of the school year.
