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

My students are kindergarteners who are excited to come to school every day. The students are excited to learn, but they face obstacles in their daily lives. My students sometimes need more time and practice to learn new skills as the majority of them are English Language Learners.

Our neighborhood school is considered high-risk for poverty and is a Title 1 public school.

Our class is culturally diverse and welcomes all students. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. We believe all students regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, and income should have a chance to learn to their fullest potential.

The students at our school live in a low income community, and many of them are second language. Many students struggle in core subjects such as reading, writing and math.

Our class is culturally diverse and welcomes all students.

We believe all students regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, and income should have a chance to learn to their fullest potential. My hope is to receive listening center book sets and cd's in order for my students to hear the English language and follow along in their books.

Your generous donation to our project will improve my Kindergarten classroom by building a stronger listener, reader and writer.

This will change our students' lives for the better because they will love school and feel success at an early age!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
