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 specific items I’m requesting will make a difference in my students' learning because it will provide a copy of our read aloud novel that we read every year.

It is hard to give them any assignments due to them not having access to the book.

I have read this book to my students out loud and I make them follow along on the smart board. My students are special because they are kind, respectful, and unique. They exceed any challenges that come their way. I believe that they will do amazing things when they grow up and be an asset to a community. I am so proud of them!
