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

Dyslexia can affect how students learn in school, but there are also super powers to having dyslexia! Knowledge is power! My goal is to provide staff and parents with the tools to help their students feel like confident and successful readers.

I am so excited to have a dyslexia resource library of books and workbook materials on campus available to our families, helping them to understand more about the disability and ability of their children.

There is so much to know and learn and it is my goal to show families more about how to help their child at home. This can also be a great resource for our teachers who also work with students who have dyslexia.

Mrs. Griffin-Hamlin Lagos Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
