Celebrating 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
Every year, I am extremely lucky to work with a group of hard-working and kind fourth graders. Most of my students are English learners, newcomer students who have not had the opportunity to attend school in their native countries, and scholars with varying skills and learning styles. This project will support all these wonderful students.
This school year is not over yet, but I'm starting to get ready for the first week of August when I return to work and get ready to welcome my new group of fourth graders; your contributions will help me welcome my little scholars with their own exciting spelling books, author folders, small art/math/poetry journals, and foil art kits.
The students will be able to take the spelling books home for homework/review, and the journals/art and crafts materials will be used throughout the year to integrate math/science/writing/art!
Thank you so much for helping me get ready for the new school year this early and for providing these exciting and engaging resources to my English learners. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart because it helps lessen my teacher stress when the new school year begins, which is full of training/PDs and there is never enough time to be well-prepared for day 1 of the new school year!
