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

This wishlist will directly support my amazing students, many of whom come from low-income backgrounds and are English learners working hard to read and thrive. Every item helps build a classroom filled with books, learning tools, and opportunities they might not otherwise have. With your support, I can create an engaging, literacy-rich environment where every child has the chance to grow, dream, and succeed. As these children as learning to read and write, some or many are learning it in a different language. Help me close the reading gap by adding these resources to my classroom.

Each one of my students deserves the world.

Help me give that to them.
