Celebrating 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

Our students are amazing and some of the most inquisitive people who are so eager to learn! First grade is an important year in a child's life. This is a year where they are learning how to become more independent day by day.

Together, we can create a community where students are strengthening the strategies they need to problem solve academically, socially and emotionally to be more self-reliant.

It is truly amazing to see the confidence in our students as they learn how to become independent.

The products that we have selected will help create and organize activities where students will be able to be in charge of their learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
