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 would love to bring vibrant, colorful supplies into our classroom to help create a warm and welcoming learning environment. Bright materials not only spark creativity but also bring joy and energy into our daily routines. Along with colorful supplies, I’m hoping to add cleaning wipes to help us take care of our space and learn responsibility. My students take pride in their classroom, and having the tools to keep it clean and inviting supports that mindset.

With your help, we can build a space where students feel inspired, supported, and at home.
