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

Our Kinder and 1st grade classrooms are full of eager, curious learners who thrive when lessons come to life through interactive play. Nothing engages young minds quite like cooperative learning games. I am requesting multiple copies of a hands-on phonics and math game to help our students build foundational literacy and numeracy skills while having fun. There are additional phonics and math games that I will purchase licenses for from Teachers Pay Teachers.

With your generous support, these games will transform our daily center time into an engaging workshop of discovery.

You are not just funding educational tools; you are helping foster a lifelong love for learning and building confidence in readers and mathematicians for years to come.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
