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
What I love most about my students is their creativity, curiosity, and the joy they bring to learning each day. They are eager to express themselves, and I’m constantly inspired by their unique perspectives. The coil binding machine empowers them to publish their own work, turning writing and art into real books they can be proud of. The storage cart keeps our tools organized and accessible, encouraging independence and responsibility. The pastel border adds warmth and charm to our classroom, creating a welcoming, cheerful space where students feel safe and inspired to learn.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
