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

Research! Research! Research! Fun can be finding out about someone, someplace or something you have never hear of before. Help us learn with a new encyclopedia set.

I teach a very energetic class of twenty-six fourth graders in southern California.

Although we are in a low income urban school my students are highly motivated to learn. While we may not have a lot of extra materials we do make very good use of what we have.

My Project

My curious class of fourth graders love to research people, states and countries and while we do have a computer in our room to do research on we also need an encyclopedia set to use as a further resource. My class believes that while one source is good two or three are always better.

Your kind and generous donation to my class will not only help them learn the valuable lesson of research but will also encourage them to read more about a subject in many ways.

This skill will go with them to high school, college and into their chosen job field. Thank you for your consideration of this most beneficial project.
