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 Students

Hello! My students are in the Third Grade in CA. Our school is a Title 1 school with more than 88% qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Being home and away from their peers and teachers has taken many necessary resources away from them, such as peer to peer interactions, easily accessed daily meals, after school enrichment opportunities, and a large library of books that was at their reach any time. Before school closures, students were able to take four books home, but many of them have finished those books and do not have many other options at home.

Let us come together and support children who have had to endure so much already at such a young age.

Let us lead by example and show them that giving back in any way can make a difference.

My Project

Reading is one of the most important skills students need to develop and strengthen. My students have worked hard to keep reading at home, but many of those books are online. We all know staring at a computer for too long can hurt our eyes, so I do worry when students are only able to read a book at their level on a website.

Help me secure two books for each student, so we can show these wonderful scholars that reading matters and that reading is exciting!

Your kind contribution will support students' academic development and provide them with beautiful reading adventures. Be the inspiration these kids need today.
