Celebrating 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
As a 5th grade ELA teacher, I strive to make each lesson engaging, differentiated, and meaningful for every student. One of my favorite ways to bring fresh, standards-aligned content into the classroom is through Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) — a platform full of high-quality materials created by educators for educators.
With a $100 TpT gift card, I will be able to purchase:
Novel study guides with creative comprehension activities
Interactive writing prompts and grammar games
Culturally responsive reading passages
Differentiated materials to support both struggling readers and advanced learners
These resources will allow me to meet my students’ diverse needs while saving time for more individualized instruction and small-group conferencing. TpT resources also support my professional development as I pursue my reading and gifted endorsements, giving me access to research-based strategies and enrichment tools.
Your generous support will help me continue building a classroom environment where every student feels challenged, inspired, and excited to learn.
Thank you for helping me bring more creativity and excellence into our learning space!
