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

Aloha, as a first-year educator, I am seeking to create a stimulating and visually engaging learning environment for my students. My classroom currently lacks visual stimulation, which I believe is essential for fostering creativity and a sense of belonging.

The requested materials will enable students to actively participate in decorating the classroom with artwork that reflects their personal expression and artistic abilities.

This process is intended to cultivate both artistic growth and a sense of pride in student achievement. Additionally, these resources will provide a strong foundation for a successful start to the academic year.

As a first-year social studies teacher, I'm eager to create a dynamic learning environment where my ELL and 10th-grade students can thrive. Unfortunately, my classroom lacks essential resources to fully support their artistic and presentational growth. With your help, I can provide a printer to bring their digital creations to life, vibrant acrylic markers to inspire their creativity, a podium to boost their confidence as presenters, and a laser pointer to enhance their engagement during presentations. These tools will empower my students to express themselves confidently, develop essential skills, and unlock their full potential towards Social Studies.

Mahalo for your time and consideration.
