Celebrating 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 want to create a classroom that feels welcoming, supportive, and engaging from day one. With your support, I’ll be able to provide a variety of helpful resources for my students. Fidget tools like fidget spinners and stress balls will be available for students who need help staying focused or calming their nerves during quiet work time. Snacks to support students who may come to school hungry or need a boost to stay alert throughout the day.
My goal is to give my 6th graders the tools and encouragement they need to thrive as they begin this important new chapter.
Positive reinforcement is another important part of our classroom culture, so using small incentives helps students feel seen and appreciated while building motivation and confidence.
Additionally, classroom staples like pencils, reusable sleeves, and dry-erase markers ensure that every student has access to the basic supplies they need without having to worry about coming unprepared.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
