FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ortiz's classroom raised $341

This project is fully funded

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

Help empower students within my reading intervention program to aim for success with providing them with interactive center activities that will promote students engagement, as well as provide snacks for motivational purposes, as well as incentives when students are working towards further enhancing their current independent reading goal. Students within my reading intervention program are currently performing at the elementary grade level and will significantly benefit from any learning tools that will further support academic literacy gains to ensure students success when accessing grade level content. The students within my program are all hard workers and aim for success.
