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

My incoming first graders are motivated students who come to school each day with a smile. Their diversity and varying learning styles are going to add to the colorfulness of our classroom. They love to learn, explore and read! I'd like to have them Book Ready for first grade so I'd like to be able to provide them with a book bag with a copy of The Night Before First Grade, a decodable book and a Pigeon series book. I'd also like to give them a name tag that they will personalize themselves for the first day of school. With your support my students will have these resources to kick off our school year Book Ready! We thank you in advance for your support!
