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

As a kindergarten teacher, my students are truly my heart. They’re more than just children I teach—they are my family. I love each of them deeply and want nothing but the very best for their happiness, growth, and success. That’s why I’ve spent countless hours and my own resources building a classroom that feels safe, warm, and inviting—because I believe every child deserves a space where they feel seen, valued, and excited to learn.

Now, I’m asking for your help to take that vision even further.

I’m hoping to add a cozy rug where we can gather for stories, lessons, and shared moments, as well as hands-on STEM toys that inspire creativity, exploration, and critical thinking. These tools will help bring learning to life in fun, engaging ways.

Your donation—no matter the size—will help create a joyful classroom environment where my kindergartners can thrive. Thank you for supporting our little learners and making a difference in their world.
