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 love my students’ curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Each day, they inspire me with their eagerness to learn and grow. These resources will help spark imagination, promote hands-on STEM learning, and support emotional regulation. Crayons and sensory toys encourage creative expression, while dry erase tools and multiplication dominoes make lessons interactive. Magnetic tiles and STEM kits foster problem-solving and teamwork. The rug creates a cozy learning space, headphones aid focus, and hand sanitizer keeps us healthy. Every item helps build a safe, engaging, and inclusive classroom for every learner. I cannot wait to teach these students!
