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

I teach 24 Kindergarten students who are eager to learn and grow. They come to school daily and are ready to actively particpiate in all activities that consist of reading, writing, math, art and learning social skills.

Please help give my students Growth mindset books, writing supplies, and art supplies like playdoh that will allow them to build a positive Growth Mindset around the power of YET!

It is so important that my students have the opportunity to tap into their growth mindset and with access to exciting materials will make the activities even more engaging.
