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

My second graders are a group of curious, enthusiastic learners who bring joy and creativity into our classroom every day. They love exploring new ideas, and their excitement for learning is truly inspiring.

The materials in this project such as the Expo markers will allow my students to engage in interactive lessons, making learning more hands-on.

New books will fuel their imaginations and improve their reading skills. The *Time for Kids* magazines will keep them informed about the world, sparking discussions and critical thinking. Carpet squares will create cozy reading spaces, helping them to focus and enjoy their reading time.

These resources will create a more dynamic and comfortable learning environment, helping each child to succeed.
