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

I teach students who require an assortment of methods to learn. With a class of individuals with differentiated learning patterns, I wish to meet the needs of them all. We need headphones, dry erase boards, and highlighters. These materials can help those who learn with auditory and visual aids, and provide them with the ability to take charge of their own learning. These supplies will grant my students the ability to actively participate in class, cooperate in groups, and practice their speaking, listening, speaking, and writing skills. Please help my students thrive with comfortability in their classroom.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
