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

As a teacher working in a high needs classroom and community, I have a huge amount of appreciation for those who help to fun my students. The phonics cards, books, flexible seating, and manipulatives for small group intervention will make a significant difference in our learning space. My students work so hard and as we strive to alleviate the gaps that the COVID-19 pandemic, any extra materials that we can use to help bring them to grade level and beyond is extremely beneficial. Thank you so much for your generous donation!
