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 fourth-grade team, we have noticed that our students struggle with stamina to read questions and passages. As teachers, we want our students to interact and engage with the text further than just reading it once. By having multicolored highlighters, students will be excited to interact with the text and annotate to locate important details.

This project will benefit every student in the fourth grade.

With your donation, each student will get their own highlighter wheel to use whenever we analyze questions, annotate passages, and edit their writing.
