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 am excited to share a project that will greatly support my students’ learning and classroom organization. In our classroom, hands-on practice and engaging materials are essential for building strong foundational skills. To help my students grow as readers, writers, and problem solvers, I am requesting a few resources that will make our learning environment more interactive and organized.

The Giant Magnetic Draw & Write Page and Manuscript Chart Tablets will provide my students with large, visible spaces to practice writing letters, words, and sentences during group lessons.

These tools allow us to model and practice together, making learning both fun and accessible. The Crayola Project XL Markers will add color and creativity to our writing and projects, encouraging students to take pride in their work.

To keep our classroom organized and welcoming, the Cubby Bins and Pencil Holder Vases will give students a clear system for storing books, supplies, and materials. This helps them develop independence and responsibility while keeping our space tidy. Lastly, the Unifix Cubes are an essential math manipulative that allows students to explore counting, patterns, and number sense in a hands-on way that makes learning math exciting and concrete.

With your support, these resources will not only enhance my students’ daily learning but also create a classroom environment that fosters organization, creativity, and engagement.
