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

Hello! Consider supporting my scholars and myself by providing a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for scholars to show their best effort in reading intervention class, and during IEP testing!

I am a firm believer that scholars who are shown love and basic needs (food/water) can succeed.

The snacks are for scholars to fuel their bodies to power their thinking with learning challenging materials, and to show their best effort during IEP testing.

I am also in need of a few items to improve the condition of testing and teaching in my classroom space.

Thank you for your consideration and support! :)
