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 the Reading Interventionist on our school campus. My wonderful job is to help our most fragile readers fall in LOVE with reading and improve their comprehension. My scholars are excited about learning and wanting to improve their reading skills!

We will engage in many fun learning experiences this year using exciting and colorful learning tools.

Imagine students smiling with colorful activities at their fingertips to help them practice their new knowledge! This is what you will give to my students by donating to this request.

Students need multiple opportunities to practice their learning. When I am able to make these activities fun and exciting, students have a better chance at mastering and remembering what they have learned. I can't wait to see colorful assignments hanging all over our classroom!
