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

Reading is the key to successful students and it is our goal to be reading above grade level. Please help us reach this goal!

We are a title I school, but that does not stop us in the least.

School is our priority and my students come to school each and everyday ready to learn and work hard. This is the second year that I have the same students and we are really excited to be given this opportunity.

My Project

I am requesting 25 books, word study practice books, and cardstock paper for reading and writing activities. These materials will greatly help support all my students during reading and writing workshop. The word study books will increase our reading fluency.

This project is so important because you will be giving the gift of literacy.

There is no better gift. Thank you for taking the time to check out our goals and dreams! Our Goal = 22 above grade readers!
