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

My special-needs students need chapter books and laptops to advance their learning inside the classroom. Reading is essential in our class. We also need laptops to conduct research, type papers, and be exposed to learning games. We would highly appreciate it if someone could help us advance in our small classroom. The learning of my special needs students, in return, will be able to educate the children on typing, research, reading, email, and exposure to computer-based programs.

We thank you in advance for any donations you can provide us in our classroom.
