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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I work at a Title 1 (low income) elementary school. I began working for the school in January. I am teaching English Language Learners. Our school has grown significantly with this population. This is a new program that has begun. I am lacking many resources needed to help my students excel!

I am asking for materials/ items that will help my students access education.

The grade levels I teach are from Pre-K to 5th grade. A lot of the students I service are new to this country and are learning the basics of the English Language. With your contribution you will be helping 30 students.
