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 our school year reaches the second half, I am looking forward to providing my students with some smaller materials to keep them busy in the start of the summer. Some of those materials include small fidget toys, while other materials are academic.

One of the academic materials I am hoping to provide for my students at the end of the school year is a book for each student and a bookmark for each student that they can color and design.

Many of my current fifth grade students have taken on more of a love for reading this year, so I am hopeful to provide each with a book to continue reading over the course of the summer.

Myself and my students appreciate any donation you are able to make. Thank you!
