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

What I love most about my students is their incredible curiosity and eagerness to learn—every day they come into our bilingual pre-K classroom full of joy, energy, and a desire to explore. They’re learning in both English and Spanish, and I’m inspired by how hard they work to grow in both languages.

Each resource in this project will be part of a personalized take-home binder designed to support literacy and math skills in fun, engaging ways.

The binders will include bilingual alphabet cards, counting games, shape and color activities, early reading materials, and fine motor practice sheets. These tools will help families reinforce classroom learning at home, strengthen home-school connections, and build essential foundational skills in both languages. Your support helps make learning accessible, consistent, and meaningful—wherever our students are.
