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 class is made up of diverse Spanish-speaking students. As immigrants from various backgrounds, these students are eager to explore the world through literature.

The goal of this project is to provide our students with books that are both engaging and culturally relevant.

They have expressed a strong interest in reading graphic novels, and science books about animals.

By donating books in Spanish, you will be empowering these young readers to discover new worlds, develop their language skills, and foster a lifelong love of learning. Your generosity will undoubtedly inspire a generation of bookworms. Additionally, our classroom tends to get uncomfortably hot, and we need a fan to help cool it down because reading should be enjoyable! Reading is cool!
