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

I teach in a Dual Language ICT classroom filled with incredible first-grade students who are curious, creative, and eager to learn in both English and Spanish. Many of our students are English Language Learners and students with disabilities who thrive when given the right tools and support.

We are in need of classroom materials that will help make learning more engaging, accessible, and inclusive for every child.

From bilingual books and sensory tools to headphone adapters to support our first-grade students.

These items will help our kids build language and reading skills, stay focused during iPad activities, and engage in hands-on, meaningful learning every day. Your support makes a real impact!
