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

We need a fresh start to our school year and you can help by donating to our project. We are an enthusiastic bunch of 4th and 5th graders with a range of learning needs.

Our classroom needs engaging texts that will help students fall in love with reading, and will be accessible in both large print and Spanish.

The Scholastic magazines contain entertaining and informative articles that'll grab our students attention. In addition, we are studying voting rights and need books for our social studies unit.

Help us start our year off on the right foot.

Ms. Lopez Castle Bridge School Grades 3-5
