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

Help me give my students a classroom subscription to TIME for Kids so they can access engaging, age appropriate informational articles that build literacy, critical thinking, and real-world awareness.

My students are naturally curious about the world, and this resource will help them explore current events, science, history, and global topics in a way that’s accessible and meaningful.

A regular dose of nonfiction reading not only supports their comprehension and vocabulary skills, but also encourages discussion, questioning, and a lifelong interest in learning.

By bringing TIME for Kids into our classroom, you’ll help provide equitable access to high-quality, diverse content—giving every student the opportunity to grow as a strong, informed reader. Your support empowers them to connect with the world beyond our walls and see themselves as future leaders and thinkers.
