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

All of my students will be entering into a school year that is very different than their previous school year. I am happy to introduce financial literacy topics while also building on their Math skills.

My students will be able to make better decisions when solving problems.

By having a interactive way to build using tiles and Literacy Flash cards my students will be able to transfer the same principles to better understand finance. Students will be able to read books to build their confidence to prepare their minds for new information that they will acquire.

Ms. Perkins Hemlock Park Elementary School Grades PreK-2

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

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
