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

The items I'm requesting, such as Better Than Paper bulletin board paper, storage bins, sensory fidgets, and reading comprehension workbooks will significantly impact my student's learning. Classroom decorations will create a more positive workspace, crucial for their productivity and engagement. Research underscores the link between environment and learning outcomes, and I aim to provide a setting where my students can thrive.

My primary goal for this project is to foster a conducive learning environment that supports student success.

By funding these resources, we're not just enhancing aesthetics but also facilitating better organization and engagement. I envision a classroom where students feel comfortable, valued, and eager to learn, regardless of their background or challenges they may face outside of school.

What makes my students special is their resilience, curiosity, and determination to succeed despite the odds stacked against them. They inspire me daily with their enthusiasm for learning and their ability to overcome obstacles. With your support, we can provide them with the tools and environment they need to reach their full potential and break the cycle of limited resources holding them back. Together, we can empower these students to achieve greatness.
