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 Students

It is a privilege to teach a new crop of students year after year at Brady Elementary School. My students enter my classroom knowing they are respected, safe, and loved. They come in every day full of vibrant energy and an eagerness to learn something new on a daily basis.

The drive for me is to provide every learning opportunity that I can for them so that ALL my students grow academically and socially.

The students that I serve come from hard-working, low-income families. Our school is considered Title I with 100% of my students who receive free lunch and breakfast.

My Project

My students would benefit from these 4 E-Readers incorporated into our daily reading routine. The time in which my students would use these E- Readers would be during our reading block either independently, with a partner or in small group. It would be wonderful to expand my classroom library to hundreds of books. With space limited within the classroom for the addition of more bookcases, the E-Readers would be help solve this space issue.

By donating to this project, students will be able to read an amazing variety of books across so many different genres.

With this project, my hope is to expand my classroom library as well as expanding the love of reading in a fun way.
