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

My first grade students are excited about learning!

Most come from low-income families where reading and other educational materials are luxury items.

Additionally, our class contains children from diverse backgrounds and circumstances. Many come from homes where English is not spoken or not spoken fluently, some are in the foster care system, and some have physical and/or speech challenges to overcome. Fortunately, at this age, all students benefit greatly from experiences and touchable, movable manipulatives, so I try to provide these opportunities as much as possible. When you donate to our classroom, you are changing lives! Thank you!

My Project

This project is for Science Spin and Scholastic News weekly reader magazines for my first graders. These magazines motivate my students to want to learn to read and encourage them to explore and investigate the world around them. They also provide opportunities for “virtual field trips.”

Many of my students do not have access to reading materials outside of the classroom.

Reading these magazines together at school and then sending them home fosters a love for reading in my students, while at the same time helping them build a library of age-appropriate, quality reading materials they can keep and enjoy when they are not at school.

Please consider helping fund this project (or my other weekly reader project). Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
