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

Our students are eager to learn and are ready to take in new knowledge to expand their horizons and increase their independent reading and math levels. Obtaining these books will give students choices in what types of books to read and open their world to various genres and ideas from places they can travel through the art of reading. The math manipulatives will provide hands on opportunities when learning new math skills and the opportunity to engage with their peers through conversations, questions, and problem solving skills. Any help will be greatly appreciated and know that you are putting big smiles on the young faces of our future citizens!
