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

Your support will make a meaningful difference in my students' educational journey. Whether they’re discovering their first chapter book or diving into a new adventure, having access to more books will help them develop critical literacy skills, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

Students need the correct resources to thrive in the classroom and I would love to provide that to them.

In today’s classroom, many of our learning activities involve digital programs and apps that help students practice math, reading, and other essential skills. These programs often include interactive elements, such as videos, stories, and games that engage students with sound, instructions, and feedback. To ensure that every child can focus and hear clearly, especially in a bustling classroom, headphones are essential including pencils, pouches, glue, magnets, flash cards, counting toys are all necessary to a child’s learning.
