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

Please help me give my second graders white copy paper. As part of our writing toolkit curriculum, students engage in frequent writing exercises in response to various prompts. Unfortunately, the supply of white paper we receive from the school is limited and quickly runs out. Having a steady supply of white paper would ensure that students can continue to practice and improve their writing without interruption.

We love incorporating read-alouds into our daily lessons.

While YouTube read-alouds are a helpful resource, they cannot fully replace the joy and impact of sharing a physical book together. Access to physical copies of these books would allow us to create a richer, more interactive, and more personal reading experience for our students. Please help me give my students these books!

The pencil grips will be helpful for those students who need extra practice holding their pencils.
