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 second graders are working hard and making lots of progress every day! They are growing as learners and reaching new goals. That’s why it’s so rewarding to offer them motivators that encourage them to keep striving to be their best.

A TPT gift card and an electric sharpener and would make a big difference in our classroom.

The TPT gift card would allow me to buy differentiated lessons plus engaging art and craft activities that support our academic standards. Having access to resources that meet my students’ individual needs would help them feel more confident and successful.

A community pencil sharpener that is just for them, would give them a sense of ownership and independence during independent and partner work, helping them sharpen their pencils quickly and easily without losing focus.

Your support would have a direct impact on my students’ learning and help create a more productive, fun, and positive classroom environment. I am excited to add these resources to our second grade classroom and with your help, share them with my students very soon!
