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 Students

"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am a first grade teacher in CT.

This upcoming school year will be my 5th year teaching and my second year teaching amazing 1st graders in an inner-city, urban school that is making strides in student achievement. Since my students live in one of the poorest cities in the nation, supplies and resources are few and far between.

My Project

The literacy materials that I am requesting will provide my enriching learning experiences for my students. These materials will also ensure that my students are provided with the resources they need to help them become better readers and writers. Strong literacy skills are the building blocks for all other subject areas. Strengthening these skills will allow for success across the board.

With your generosity, my students will become even more incredible readers and writers.

All my students will benefit from these wonderful materials. Please support Connecticut's youth!
