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

Lively, energetic, and kind are three words I would use to describe our young learners. Every day, they do their best to achieve all that they can. Our students desperately want to be actively involved in what they do in the classroom.

Living in a large city can be difficult for many young children.

My young learners live close to the downtown area in our city. They go to a Title I school, where ALL students receive free breakfast and lunch daily. Their basic food needs, except for dinner, are taken care of, but now they need something to sustain their minds.

My Project

Parents are always asking, "What did my child do in school today?" Well through this Family Engagement project parents will get the opportunity to work in conjunction with their children to support and build on skills that they have learned in school.

Lakeshore Learning's Family Engagement Packs for Reading and Math will enable parents to work with their children to build on much needed skills.

Parents will get the time to bond with their children while doing school work in fun manner.

These wonderful packs will encourage students to complete homework, which many do not do. Working with a parent lets children see how important school work really is!

Please help our students work and learn with their parents through this awesome Family Engagement Math and Reading Packs. Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.
