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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In today's society learning is hard. Sitting still is hard. Reading is hard. However, engaging students is still 100% possible with the right resources.

Flashback to when you fell in love with your first book, was it Goosebumps?

Maybe Captain Underpants? Maybe you fell in love with writing because of the books you read. My hope is to remind students that learning is fun when you find the things that interest you.

Of course, we still have to do crafts and have whiteboard races and maybe a little prize here and there. In order to create the love of learning that many of us have always had, we need your help to supply our students with those materials.
