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

Ours is a first grade classroom of brilliant learners in Washington DC. My students have seen tremendous growth this 2023-2024 school year. Many of their reading levels have jumped from low to mid since we took our BOY (beginning of year assessment). However we need your help.

We need fire tablets for my students so they can access intervention websites that will enhance their reading and information technology skills like I-ready and Epic Reading.

Your donation will change our city and our world by developing these young minds to become proficient readers.
