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

Reading informational text can oftentimes be overwhelming for students. In today's fast-paced world, it is so important for students to stay informed about current events. I am reaching out to request your support for our classroom by funding a subscription to Scholastic News magazines. With your help, we can provide our students with an invaluable resource that promotes literacy, critical thinking, and meaningful classroom discussions.

These magazines will not only enhance our literacy curriculum but also encourage students to explore different perspectives and engage in thoughtful discourse with their peers.

By incorporating current events into our lessons, students will develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and become informed citizens.

With your support, we can inspire our students to become lifelong learners who are curious about the world. The funds raised will directly contribute to our subscription, allowing us to access high-quality informational texts that enhance our curriculum and engage students in meaningful ways.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our classroom! Together, we can promote literacy and empower our students to understand and discuss the world around them.
