FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. O.'s classroom raised $595

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

The group of students that I am getting to know are mostly economic disadvantaged. They are eager to learn everything you have to teach them. Some students are behind two grade levels in reading comprehension and fluency. If these students have the opportunity and great resources they are most likely to succeed. I am here to voice their needs, so they can have a better future.

They need the confidence and the love to read to have a better future.

So they need great resources to do that.

My Project

The materials will help make a difference in my students learning by providing the opportunity to be expose to great materials to further their reading skills and open their possibilities to open their minds by reading a great novel.

To further their vocabulary development, reading comprehension and reading fluency my students really need great resources.

I am hoping by having the students be more expose they would be able to preform better on state assessment or catch up in their reading abilities. I really want my students to succeed and see that there are people invested in their future like me.
