FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Peres's classroom raised $788

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

The resources will help the first graders to be able to have the right tools to have in the classroom. The pencils and paper will be used for different activities for all subjects to practice the different standards in the grade level. The expo markers will be used to write on white boards and practice their phonics and math facts.

The protective sheets and lamination sheets will be used for different ELA and Math stations to help them grow with differentiated activities.

I will be able to create books to help them to learn to read to get them ahead in First Grade and do their best in the ELA standards by the end of the year! It will help in the best way possible!
