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 loved welcoming 22 third graders this school year. My students love to read and are really great at math. These resources will go directly toward my scholars. I picked some awesome read-alouds that teach students about social-emotional behavior and how to handle stressful situations such as a pandemic. We still have students who have to quarantine and a few students who lost a loved one due to Covid-19. Your donation will help students cope and learn ways to interact with others who are going through a similar situation. We thank you for your donation in advance and can't wait to share our learning with you!
