Help me give my students phonics games, books and reading manipulatives to build a love for reading in my little learners.

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 Project
I absolutely love my students' curiosity and resilience. They come to class every day with a willingness to explore, question, and grow, no matter the challenges they face outside of school. Their diverse perspectives and eagerness to learn inspire me to create engaging, meaningful lessons that connect to their lives and interests.
Each resource I’m requesting is selected with their needs in mind.
Whether it’s hands-on materials, technology tools, or flexible seating, every item helps create an environment where students feel empowered and supported. These resources allow for differentiated learning, spark creativity, and make abstract concepts more concrete. Most importantly, they help me meet each student where they are and guide them forward with confidence and excitement.
More than half 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
