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

My awesome first-grade​ group in Cleveland is currently comprised of 50 students, most of whom come from bilingual households and receive free breakfast and lunch.

We are a curious bunch who take pride in our growth and skills.

We work hard on being role models and mentors to each other. We are a family and care about each other as such.

Due to financial difficulties and lack of other resources, many of our students come to school without the necessary materials needed for learning.

My Project

This project is one in a series of small projects I have created as a result of the uncertainty we are all facing due to COVID-19 (corona virus). My priority is to ensure that, as we return to school, all students have the materials they will need to successfully learn and practice the skills they need in first grade regardless of their parents’ financial situation.

For this project, I am asking for donations towards primary writing journals.

These journals will support my students on their writing skills as well as foster independence and organizational writing skills. These facilitate drawing in conjunction with writing, a strategy proven to help in literacy.
