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 are intelligent, caring, and kind individuals. They are from a predominantly Native American and Hispanic community. Covid 19 has definitely created gaps in their learning. They have been through a year and a half in a virtual classroom. In addition, most have had to miss school multiple days of school due to quarantine and/or illness. With your help, they will get the hands-on materials to fill in the learning gaps and get a solid foundation in Math and Reading. These materials will help them with the skills that will be needed to be successful in 3rd grade.
