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 think that effective communication with the students' parents or legal guardians is the key to a good education. At home is where learning begins. I urgently need Teacher-Parent Communicator folders for my students. I place a lot of importance on this. Please Offer Your Assistance! Every single one of my students is loved by me as if they were my own. Having access to these Teacher-Parent Communicator Folders would be really helpful. A successful education depends on effective parent-teacher relations.

I am confident that my project will have an impact because a child's education depends heavily on contact with the parent or guardian.

The folders will get everyday use by my students. From school to home, I will communicate with parents in this manner. Parents will be informed of what their children can stay at home and what they need to bring to school when the students arrive at home. To maintain open lines of communication with the teacher, the parents might also write letters to them. Monthly I will send home a newsletter with the learning concepts of the month for each of the subjects.
