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 Students

I love my students! My students are the reason why I love teaching. They walk into our classroom every single day with smiles on their faces. They are always eager to start the day. I always ask them, "Who is the best class?" and they reply, "We are!"

I have always let them know that I believe they are capable of doing anything they want.

Despite so many hardships, my students come to class every day and are eager to learn and do their best.

My Project

Thank you ATPE for matching.

My students have passed through a rough time lately and I would like to be able to provide them with a variety of books so that they can get their minds away from the disaster.

When they return, they will be able to enjoy them all. My students enjoy reading and always eager to find out what new books are available for them.

All of my students will be able to take comprehension quizzes over the books and learn about new topics. There is a wide variety of interesting books and they will be able to decide on their own.

Thank you for your donations!
