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 are such a great group of 5th graders. Unfortunately, their reading levels are all over the map.

I am trying to acquire sets of 10 for certain chapter books so that I can read different books with each of my leveled groups.

These books would make a huge difference in our classroom and really boost the confidence of each student. The books that I selected are all chapter books so my lower-level readers can feel like they can tackle big books too.

Your donation would be such a big help!
