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 enthusiastic learners, who enjoy engaging with each other using hands-on-materials to enhance learning. Our school consist of some low resource households who need some assistance.

Help me help my students with the necessary tools they need to have a productive, engaging, and exceptional school year.

A carpet, phonics booklets, book bins, pencils, erasers and notebooks will assist scholars to keep their materials organize and a soft corner to read and practice their lessons during small groups. These materials will enhance, organize and provide an inviting learning environment.
