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

As our district moves away from balanced literacy to the science of reading, my goal for the next school year is to continue toincrease my knowledge in this area so that I can better support my students. These books will help me learn how to teach all my students how to become better readers.

My school started this work two years ago and I would love your support in helping me continue this work.

I love learning more and growing as a teacher to become the best Educator I can be.
