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

Hello!

We are 4th grade inner city teachers with 22 students.

Our students are eager learners who love to work on their reading skills. We are starting this campaign with the hopes of providing our students with some books to support our weather unit. We would also like to provide print and digital Scholastic News magazines to help them practice their nonfiction reading skills and keep up on current events. This will enable our kids to enjoy high interest topics both in school an at home. Please, support this effort.

Thank You,

Ms. Kearns and Ms. Hoffman
