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 love my students because they show up every day with curiosity, energy, and so much heart. Even at this young age, they are resilient, eager to learn, and full of potential. They smile when they discover something new, they cheer each other on, and they find joy in the smallest accomplishments—like writing the first letter of their name or painting a picture all on their own.

Each of my students is unique, and I strive to meet them where they are while helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Some of my students are still learning how to hold a pencil or use scissors, while others are just starting to express themselves through drawing or writing. These resources will allow every child to participate meaningfully and feel successful.

With these tools, my students are not only learning—they are building confidence, developing independence, and creating a strong foundation for future success. I love watching their faces light up when they complete a task on their own or proudly share their work with the class. These moments are why I teach, and with your support, I can continue giving them the best possible start.
