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 students love to reach for the stars! The laminating machine, pouches, and letter chips are common resources used in the creation of daily small group centers. These materials will reach many students in the future school years. Activities will be created where students can practice and be engaged in meaningful reading activities that will help close reading gaps.

By donating to our project, 58 students will benefit just this year alone.

The materials created will enhance students' reading skills and help them be ready for the world.

My students are eager to read and write. They just need the extra support to help close reading gaps. Students can practice the skills they have learned through various activities that meet the needs of different learning modalities.
