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

My students are curious, creative, and full of energy. They come to school ready to learn, support each other, and take on new challenges. What makes them special is their excitement for learning and their kindness toward one another.

To support my students goals, I'm requesting a few key tools.

Movable whiteboards will make lessons more interactive by allowing students to work in groups, share ideas, and build number lines during math. A classroom timer will help students manage their time, stay focused, and transition smoothly between activities.

A bookshelf will keep our classroom library organized and inviting, encouraging reading. We’ll also use tissue paper for phonics activities, letting students build letters and words in a fun and more hands on way that brings learning to life.

These tools will support creativity, focus, and deeper learning in our classroom every day. Thank you for helping my students succeed!
