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.

READ TOGETHER! I teach a great first grade class full of eager readers! They love to read and play educational games on the computer! They attend a public school where learning through books and technology is important.

However, our school's population has 81% of our students living in poverty. Our students need all the help they can get to excel in their studies. Many of my students are reading above grade level, and our library doesn't have enough sets of chapter books for us to use to read together in groups.

We need sets of chapter books! My students need to continue climbing in their reading abilities and appetites. If we had chapter book sets, my students could read together in their reading groups or with partners. They could build their fluency and wet their appetites for better and harder books.

Your help will ensure that my students will continue to read and be life long learners. They will get to read chapter books on their reading levels and continue to grow in their knowledge.
