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

The reading bug has finally bit my class of third graders. They have visited our classroom library more in these last two weeks than they have in the first six months of school combined. They're now asking for more specific titles and series that we don't have.

By donating to our project, you will be providing books that they've asked for and in turn, growing their love of reading even more.

I remember my own love of reading taking off in third grade. It would be great if these kids could have the same experience.
