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

In our first grade classroom, I am continually amazed by the curiosity, enthusiasm, and potential of each of my students. I love witnessing their eagerness to learn and grow every day. With your support, we can take their learning journey to the next level. The guided reading leveled book sets will allow me to tailor instruction to each student's individual reading level, fostering confidence and comprehension. The phonics skill-building book sets will provide engaging opportunities for students to master foundational literacy skills, empowering them to become confident and fluent readers. Additionally, the "A Little SPOT of SEL Favorites" bundle will help promote social-emotional learning, providing valuable resources to support my students' emotional well-being and interpersonal skills. Together, these resources will not only enhance academic achievement but also nurture the holistic development of each child in my classroom. Thank you for investing in the bright futures of these young learners!
