Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader!

Help me give my students books that will motivate them to read all year long! My students absolutely love the Dragon Ball anime series, and I would love to have the series right in my classroom for them!

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

Please help me fill my bookcases and shelves with the kind of books that kids can’t wait to get their hands on!! Anime has become so popular that even my reluctant readers are reading! If I can put these books ad well as other books they want to read in my room, I am positive their reading levels will skyrocket! I also have many Spanish speakers in my class who want to continue reading in Spanish as well as in English. They would love to have a place to find some Spanish novels and I want to make my classroom that place for them.
