Celebrating 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 that the children are eager to learn when they have tangible materials readily available. This year, my goal is for the students to improve their reading skills and become more confident.

It brings me joy to witness the children recognizing their own potential and growth from the beginning of the year to the end.

I aim for every student in my class to have access to the materials and to feel comfortable and confident in their learning.

I am excited to contribute to the process of ensuring all children receive an education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
