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

My students are growing so much in reading this year! I am so proud of all of the hard work and growth that I have already seen in my student's reading this year! This project will help provide the necessary materials to help my students continue growing in their reading.

These materials will help my students learn to read, write, create, and more!

Supplies such as new decodable readers will help foster a love of reading! Other supplies such as pencils, markers, and erasers, will help students complete everyday work.

Thank you so much in supporting students and their reading!
