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

My Kindergartners are amazing! They are so eager to learn, excited about books, drawing, math, and animals. We have so much fun each and everyday, they’ve grown so much in just a few short months. We've formed our little family and it’s a beautiful thing to be a part of.

My Project

By displaying books on community service, gender equality, anti racism and books that inspire my kindergartners on a new book stand my kids will have easy access to them. A gift card for Teacher Pay Teachers will help me plan engaging lesson on community service and other social justice issues.

Markers, paint, and paper will help my students make cards to donate to a local nursing home.

Teaching my students about community service is very important.

My students love to read and new books about topics that they are passionate about will get them very excited about reading.
