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

Our students are a diverse and vibrant community, each possessing unique talents, strengths, and challenges. This project acknowledges the individuality of each learner and strives to create an inclusive environment where every student can thrive.

We are aiming to provide tailored support to middle school students who are still honing their foundational skills.

This comprehensive project addresses various areas, including phonics, decoding, fluency, reading comprehension, problem-solving, and modified science and social studies curriculum. Additionally, we are excited to incorporate "Hi Lo" books (high interest, low readability) into our resources to enhance engagement and accessibility.

Your support in this endeavor is invaluable. Together, let's empower our middle schoolers to reach new heights in their academic journey.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
