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

My students are very special, sweet, and respectful. They come to the classroom with a smile on their faces, and I can see that they are eager to learn.

Your donation will make a great impact in my students' education as my students will be motivated to continue to learn to read.

My goal for this project is that my students that are learning to read continue to be motivated to improve on reading. I have been working with my students in small groups and having the Dr. Seuss books will make a difference in their education as my students will have books they like to read.
