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 Students

My amazing students love to experience new things and are very passionate students! They enjoy learning and always strive to discover the "why" behind their questions.

I am consistently impressed by how motivated and determined my students are in the classroom.

They work hard to meet their learning goals, no matter the obstacles. Also, my students are kind to one another and strive to create a cooperative environment. They are special people and I am fortunate to be their teacher.

My Project

Coming off a year of distance learning, we need some tools to help shore up basic math knowledge. Please help support my students with the purchase of multiplication nameplates, fraction tools, times tables flashcards, and a pencil sharpener. We have our basic curriculum ready to go, but many students lack the foundational knowledge to keep up with the expectations of the standards.

With your help, my students will be able to practice their basic math skills and be more prepared for their grade-level curriculum.

I know we can do it!!
