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

Our elementary school is of a primarily low income student demographic. Most students lack the materials to succeed and it would greatly benefit them to be able to utilize the books they deserve to be successful. Literacy plays such an important role and every student deserves access to a variety of books.

My Project

Students at my elementary school come from primarily low income families. Most students do not have access to literacy at home. My ultimate goal as a teacher is to provide a literacy rich environment that reflects the lives of all learners and allows them to ultimately succeed.

I love to foster the love of reading and these books will be shared in my 3rd grade classroom library for students to read independently, in partners, or borrow for home reading.

Our school motto is Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day.

I would love to provide all the chances for literacy for my kiddos. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity. It does not go unnoticed and touches the lives of so many students. Thank you.
