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

My students are from a low-income community and most speak English as a second language. In order to best support my students, I want to provide them with the most effective way to organize their materials. With that said, folders, binders, and three-hole zip pouches are exactly what they need to become successful independent learners. Currently, I don't have the supplies necessary in order to provide the instruction with fidelity. Please support me in providing critical essentials to my students! I am excited to see the growth in both their self-esteem and reading abilities!

Thank you for your contribution and generosity!

I am truly grateful for your support and am very excited to see my students grow!
