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

Do you remember getting hooked on a series of books as a child? Think of the anticipation and excitement you felt waiting for and then finally reading the prized next installment in your favorite series. My students share that excitement and joy of waiting for and then finally devouring the newest books in their favorite series.

My students are inquisitive, voracious readers who are craving to discover the newest adventures in their favorite book series.

My students are book-loving, avid readers, and enthusiastic learners. Students at my school are inquisitive, compassionate, and creative. As English Language learners, books are so important to my students and are truly valued.

I am the 6th grade English Language Arts teacher at a K-8 elementary school in a title one school. Many of my students do not have access to books at home and rely on our classroom library to check out high-quality books.

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door!

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of and competency in authentic, meaningful reading!

I want to introduce my students to various types of literature and with your support that can become reality. Among the Hidden is an excellent text that will enable my students to think in multiple perspectives. Percy Jackson will allow my students to create and make connections.
