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

My students are very ambitious children; they love to be challenged and are very studious. Despite some of their socioeconomic statuses, they put their education first and strive to become the best they can be. My students are readers and writers at heart, and this is why I am creating this DonorsChoose.org project to empower and continue to mold them into the literate individuals they are growing to be.

My students live in the heart of Los Angeles, a very diverse and multi-ethnic city in CA.

As a result, they encounter economic hardships and trauma. About a third of my students live in homeless shelters; others live with more than ten members in a single home apartment complex. As a result, not all of my students can financially afford the necessary and demanding resources to excel in school or in their educational careers.

With your help and support, my students will have access to a more adventurous and fun readers' and writers' process.

My Project

This project is focusing on literacy, in particular Spanish literacy. my students need books in Spanish that will help them improve their skills of decoding, blending, and being able to read Spanish text. This project is also going to bring cultural competence. My students will be reading and studying books that mirror and reflect them in the books.

This project is also going to create opportunities for families to come together and read with their children.

Families need resources to be able to explore and promote reading. My students will read with their parents and will be able to enjoy family time together.
