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 students consist of inner city children that come from low-income families, and some are even homeless. As a teacher in an urban district, I work with four and five year-old students ranging in levels of development. I have several students with special needs (IEPs) that are currently mainstreamed into my general education classroom. One student in particular currently has a personal aide to help support her in her daily school-related tasks.

My student population consists of inner city children mainly coming from low income families.

We are a dual-language school where students learn English and Spanish. We are proud to be a national school of character!

My Project

Our students LOVE to read! They especially love reading books by their favorite author Mo Willems. While I have been collecting his books over the years for our classroom, we would love to add the rest of his collection to our classroom library.

Our students would love books by their favorite Author, Mo Willems, as well as a cozy space to enjoy them!

This project would truly help our students have an inviting place to enjoy a variety of books as well as cozy furniture to relax in. It is so important to establish a love of reading at an early age, and the love my students show for these books reinforces the fact that this would be a well used and loved area in our classroom. Your donations are sincerely appreciated and will not go unnoticed!
