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

Something I love most about my students is their eagerness to learn and the incredible growth they show from the very first day to now. They are so motivated and excited to improve each day, and it’s truly inspiring to watch. The resources I’m requesting — headphones for their learning apps, glue and crayons for arts and crafts, and number resources for number recognition — will help them continue to close learning gaps and build the skills they need to be fully prepared for kindergarten. These tools will support both their academic growth and creativity, making learning more engaging and effective for each of them.
