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

Our school is a diverse and inviting environment! Everyone who visits us loves how friendly and caring our students and staff are. I love the bright faces smiling so eager to learn the lessons of the day! Regardless of what life throws at them, they optimistically make their way to school, knowing that they will have a safe, warm, and loving environment waiting.

My students mean the world to me and I want them to know that the community supports them.

Please help us empower these students!

My Project

Please help me give my students chapter books so they can enjoy themselves while they read. Many of my students come from low-income families where buying books can be difficult. During these tough times families are struggling to get their essential needs met, even harder it is for them to purchase extra.

Reading the same chapter book whole-class will help the students learn together.

We will have literacy circles, where we discuss what we read and expand our knowledge. Thank you so much for reading this proposal. Please stay safe.
