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

We are seeking donations to bring exciting and engaging reading games into our classroom.

These games will provide students with the opportunity to practice their reading comprehension skills in a fun, interactive way.

They’ll be able to work on key skills such as identifying main ideas, making inferences, and understanding story structure. All while having a great time with their classmates. Your generous support will directly contribute to creating a positive learning environment where students are motivated to improve their reading abilities. Help us make learning fun and impactful for our future readers!
