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

Hello DonorsChoose,

My first graders deserve to go first class.

A brand-new carpet for read alouds and phonics first work would feel good for any learner to concentrate on their studies rather than what they are sitting on. I would like my students to have brand new white boards to use in their formation of upper and lower-case letters. I think they would be excited to have a brand-new rug for our "campfires" of read aloud and phonics work. Using pencils that are ready to work immediately while they learn how to write an opinion paper. Lastly, reading, listening, and writing are core skills to develop and the books I asked for will help students to develop those lifelong skills.
