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

I love the curiosity and forthrightness of my students. They are special because they show resilience every day and are willing to be honest and speak and write about their thoughts and experiences. They continue to attend school in spite of what they may be going through personally, and they try their best at working hard.

The gift cards for Teachers Pay Teachers will give me the opportunity to explore and purchase engaging and fun activities for my students in multiple subject areas such as reading, writing, life skills, and math.

The headphones are needed by my students who require audio assistance to successfully engage in reading comprehension.

To support my students with their reading and writing, math and life skills lessons I do need supplemental and essential items with which to inspire my very special students. We are going to be reading and writing about current and student applicable topics. We will now have the opportunity to create and display their unique writings and book projects. We are excited to begin with your generous help and donations!

Thank you so much for your generosity!
