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 Students

My students are a wonderful group of third graders. We have been remote learning all year. Yet they are ready and eager to learn. They are bright, curious, and love to learn. We are a Title I school. Our families love and care very much for their children and want the best education for them. Our students deserve to have every opportunity to be academically successful. They deserve to have updated technological tools like an echo dot to make sure they come back to our meet on time, every time!

My Project

If I’m lucky enough to get my project funded, I will be able to distribute these books to them by May. They will have a third grade level chapter book to read as a class but virtually. This will help all my wonderful students learn to read for enjoyment. They will be able to go into small group meets and discuss each chapter. It will be their book and they can read it in bed or under the covers while in bed. Thank you in advance for considering my classroom project.
