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

Students are working hard to learn U.S. History this school year. “Mastering The TEKs” will aid them in gaining the necessary knowledge of U.S. History after Reconstruction to accompany the writing and analytical skills fine-tuned in class. My students need access to straightforward information to supplement the district's historical document-based curriculum.

I aim for every student to pass the US History STAAR test, which can be supported by purchasing this class set.

Books purchased for U.S. history students will serve as a resource for students with various learning styles. By donating to our project, you will give students access to these books that will enrich their experience in U.S. History and help them reach their academic goals.
