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’ve created a wishlist of materials that will help with classroom organization, student engagement and creating a positive learning environment. As I get ready to welcome a new group of 4th graders, I’m working hard to create a classroom that feels safe, joyful, and organized.

Every donation helps bring us one step closer to a classroom filled with joy, love, and endless learning possibilities.

These items will help us keep materials tidy and accessible so students can focus on learning, not clutter. From storage solutions and basic supplies to cozy touches that make the room inviting, each item helps me create a space that promotes learning, confidence, and joy.
