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

Your support of my DonorsChoose project is crucial for my students' learning journey. With these classroom materials, I can provide them with hands-on experiences that foster deeper comprehension and engagement in lessons. These resources will enable me to create a dynamic and interactive learning environment where every student can thrive. By having access to these materials, my students will gain invaluable skills and knowledge that will prepare them for future success. My students are special 4th graders who have so much love to give. They will be amazing leaders in this world!
