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

I love the fact that my students are EAGER to LEARN. Many of my students come from disadvantaged socio-economic situations. Therefore, at times they don't always have the necessary materials for these interactive journals.

The interactive journals allow them to interact with their classwork.

The interactive notebooks are a great reference for my students as well. The interactive notebook truly enhances the learning the experience for many students who tend to need extra with organization of thoughts, notes, and most importantly, previous learned skills and objectives.

The students would benefit greatly from your generosity.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus
