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

These books and caps will help me celebrate the incredible growth and hard work my students have shown throughout the school year. My students are kind, resilient, and full of joy. They have faced challenges, supported one another, and learned so much. I want to give each of them “A Letter from Your Teacher on the Last Day of School” as a meaningful reminder of how much they are loved and believed in.

My students come from different backgrounds and interests, but one thing we loved to discuss was baseball and showcasing good sportsmanship.

The baseball caps will be a fun, practical keepsake they can wear with pride, remembering the classroom community that we built together.

With these special gifts, my students will leave feeling seen, valued, and encouraged as they head into the next chapter of their learning journey. I believe in celebrating the whole child, and this project will help me send them off with a message they’ll carry with them for years to come.
