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

This year I will be doing a lot of small group reading instruction. I will need lots of books to teach my diverse learners.

These books will help my students learn new vocabulary and phonics.

They have difficulty staying on task because of their lack of reading skills. But mostly because of the lack of engaging books they require.

The majority of my students are from low-income families. Many of them may not have the resources needed to read every night. I want them to have as many resources as possible to help them grow as readers.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
