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

I am excited about the opportunity to create an enriching learning environment for my students, and I would love to provide them with ELA centers that will help them grow in phonics, handwriting, creativity, and independent work. However, to make this vision a reality, I need your support.

ELA centers are powerful tools that allow students to engage with content in diverse ways and at their own pace.

By donating to our classroom, you can help provide essential resources that will have a lasting impact on each student’s educational and social journey.

These tools would give my students the chance to build a strong foundation in reading and language skills, setting them up for academic and social success. In handwriting, students will have the chance to practice letter formation and develop fine motor skills through engaging worksheets, writing prompts, and tracing activities. These tools will support students in fostering legible handwriting.

Your donation will allow me to provide a center that encourages students to express themselves through drawing, storytelling, and interactive book activities. This center fosters critical thinking and personal connection to their learning. Lastly, an independent work center will allow students to practice their skills autonomously, fostering independence and self-motivation.

I have such hard-working and confident first graders who would feel excitement around learning and growing with these centers and educational games. Your generous donation would make these opportunities possible and continue to create an environment where my students can grow, thrive, and achieve their full potential. Thank you for considering supporting our classroom.
