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

My 4th grade students are now learning online and most of them have had many difficulties navigating the online classes and class work. My students are bilingual and automatically have more challenges especially since they don’t have the resources handy whether it’s a computer or tablets at home. Any donations for my students that live in the Central Islip district with their families that are already struggling financially and have had higher numbers of illness from the Corona virus. Any donation to get more resources for my students will be so appreciated. Thank you!

My Project

The books I have selected for my 4th grade Bilingual students will be encouraging to my diverse student population, which will enhance their background knowledge of culture and traditions that they are familiar with and expose them to interesting topics for them to explore and expand their interests. These students have limited access to books and other class supplies and that has been a challenge for them and their parents, especially during these difficult times where all schools are shutdown due to the pandemic virus.

Any help for these students and their families comes with much humility and gratitude!

I would love and appreciate your donations to help me to educate and give back to this community of learners which will bring much joy and help them in their journeys to future academic endeavors as they grow to achieve all their goals in life. Thank you for your consideration!

Ms. Castellanos
Grades 3-5
