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 first graders in this low income community deserve the best and we want them to have it!

With the focus on reading in a test driven school system, the children need so much authentic material to connect them to their world and to give reasons for reading. My first graders love maps and love knowing where the postcards and leaves from our exchanges are coming from. I want to take advantage of that love and use it to help my students become the most they can.

We sit on the floor everyday to have our class meetings, read stories, play games, etc. The rug we sit on is a cheap one that I buy and have to replace every two years. I would like to take advantage of the opportunity to use that rug we sit on to do more than just cover the floor. I want it to enhance the children's learning.

You will make it possible for my students, who rarely get to experience the world outside of their home, to travel the country and learn about the world around them. They will walk from one state to another as they describe their trip, the changes in weather, the direction of travel, etc. They will know their world.
