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

As you can imagine, working in a Title 1 school with limited funding, a lot of our classroom resources are bought out of pocket, or come from amazing donors...like YOU! Please consider helping this group of young readers and writers access rich and engaging curriculum through project based learning!

Your donation will help to provide mentor texts that will support engaging reading, while also serving as high quality models for grade level writing.

You will also be providing much needed materials to help students reflect on their learning with the use of 3-ring binders and sheet protectors that will serve as student portfolios. As well as, card stock that will allow students to publish their writing in a high quality way.

The students of C26 are a dynamic and diverse group of learners! They are curious about the world around them and deserve resources that allow them to dig deep and dream big. Please help me give them learning experiences that are meaningful and worthwhile!
