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 enjoy read aloud time. They enjoy seeing the bright illustrations and hearing the new adventures every character goes through. My students are at a very young age and are learning norms and life lessons the best way they can.

With your help I can support their learning of emotions and day to day life occurrences with the help of interesting characters such as Pigeon and Dots.

You will also help our library become a space where my students look forward to visiting by adding new furniture to have a seat and pick up our library books. We are very excited to begin this project. Thank you for your considerations.
