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 Students
A new school year has just begun. Our group of students arrived; new faces, new smiles, new joy and many new challenges. It is my main goal this year to help my students go to the next level. How? By exposing them to the best experiences that will spark their imagination and promote a solid academic and social foundation during the time they are under my wings.
My students are very unique because they come from different social, cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Our students are also at different academic levels ranging from early learners to late learners. Our new family in school includes students with special needs and another student with foster parents. As a teacher, I'm constantly striving to bring the best experiences for my students. It makes me very happy to make a difference in their lives!

My Project
With the new set of ABC books and letter tiles in these At Home Learning kits, our students will start to read. This year have been challenging and very exhausting not only for me as a teacher but for my students as well.
Materials are scarce and extremely limited for my students.
My students are very eager to learn especially the letters and letter sounds but once the class is over, they don't have materials at home to practice, review and enjoy working with letters.
Let's give my students a better chance to achieve a love for letters, sounds and reading while learning from home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
