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 bring so much joy, energy, and heart into our classroom. They are creative, curious, and full of personality! I love how they cheer each other on, embrace challenges, and find excitement in even the smallest classroom wins. They deserve a space that reflects how special they are.

The reading canopy will help create a cozy, quiet corner where students can escape into books and truly enjoy their independent reading time.

The Better Than Paper bulletin board rolls will brighten up our walls and allow me to display student work and motivational messages in a fun, eye-catching way. The Lilo & Stitch curtain will bring a playful, comforting touch to our library area, helping students feel at home in their learning environment.

Together, these resources will help me create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and full of pride—a classroom that inspires students to love reading, take ownership of their learning, and feel safe and supported every single day.
