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

In our kindergarten classroom, every child is a storyteller in the making! We are requesting 30 primary composition books to help our young learners build the foundational skills they need to become confident writers.

These journals—with space for both drawing and writing—will allow students to express their ideas creatively while practicing sentence formation, spelling, and handwriting.

Writing daily in their own special books helps our students develop essential literacy skills and a love for storytelling that will last a lifetime.

With your support, our kindergarteners will have the tools they need to begin their journey as authors, thinkers, and creators. Thank you for helping us build a strong foundation for future success!
