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

I am an educator in a low-income, Title I school with almost 500 children. This year will be my 14th year teaching. This year I will service 29 eager and ready scholars. They are excited about this school year and all of the fun activities that I have planned.

My goal this year is to make all of my students grow one grade level above where they are now.

I want all of my students to be successful this year. I want them to excel.

My Project

This current year we were able to get two TPT gift cards. We are almost out of funds! We would like two more cards to start off with next year to purchase more exciting resources from Teachers Pay Teachers! Next year these gift cards will allow us to buy teacher-made resources to use in the classroom. I can use these for small or whole group. We would like to be able to get so many cool things this year from novel studies to Earth Day crafts! These gift cards will definitely come in handy for us, whether we are in person or online! Please consider donating to your project so that we are able to buy great materials again next year! Thank you.
