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 Students

I work at a Title I inner-city school in Los Angeles. My students are part of a Dual Language program. Many of my students are English language learners who strive for academic excellence. Every day, they come to our virtual class ready to learn. Learning two languages is not easy, especially during a pandemic, but my students are confident, motivated, and dedicated individuals who want to learn all that they can.

My students are bilingual.

Being bilingual means adjusting to two cultures. My students work hard every day in order to master two languages. They are making gains in order to achieve great things and to prepare for college so that they can grow up to become successful individuals.

My Project

My amazing students come to school ready to learn.

A phonics center will strengthen my students' abilities to become fluent readers and writers.

These tools will be used during our small group instruction to help my students master their phonics to become amazing readers.

When students have the right tools, they succeed. My students will benefit from these resources because they will be engaged with a variety of games.

We truly appreciate all the help from donors who continue to support us so that we have the materials needed to be successful.
