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

I am seeking your support in expanding our classroom library with a diverse collection of books focused on emotional awareness and inclusivity.

Reading is an invaluable experience, yet many of our students have limited access to literature that reflects their own lives and experiences.

By bringing these essential books into our classroom, we can create a more enriching and relatable curriculum that fosters understanding, empathy, and emotional growth.

If we can acquire these books, I am committed to integrating them into our daily lessons, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to engage with stories that resonate with them and broaden their perspectives.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our students' education. Together, we can cultivate a love of reading and strengthen their emotional intelligence.
