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

The requested resources will remain on display to support students as I look forward to help them write independently. Each item plays a crucial role in creating a well-organized, engaging, and student-centered writing environment. With your support, we can provide our young geographers and historians with the tools they need to express their ideas clearly, stay organized, and develop a love for writing through reliable sources. Every material has a purpose and a place for the need of all my students; now, we just need your help to bring them into our classroom.

Ms. Oke Thomas Johnson Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
