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

As a reading interventionist working with middle school students, I strive to keep my students actively engaged in daily instruction to further promote their academic success and foundational literacy skills. Throughout the year, I have been working on creating, as well as receiving from some very generous donors, varying phonics-based center activities to help me in keeping students motivated and eager to participate in reading based instruction. With your support, not only will I be able to introduce new station activities for the spring, but can also provide snacks, which the students love working towards receiving. Most students in my program attend after school sessions throughout the week until early in the evening, for extra reading support, as well as on Saturday in preparation of the New York State exams! Having a little snack to get them along the day would be extremely appreciative, as most students eat the school lunch earlier in the day, or rather don't eat until they get home later in the evening!
