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 love watching my students learn how to read. It’s the most rewarding feeling! I’ve been teaching for 25 years and need to update my classroom library. I need a phonics skills building book set to help my students practice their reading.

I need new book sets for my students who are struggling to read!

We also need a magnetic whiteboard for them to practice their newly learned skills in the library. I believe students learn how to read faster when they are interested in the books they’re reading. This is why we need all these books which are high interest but at there reading level!

Please help me inspire the love of reading in my students!
