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

As a first-grade teacher, my mission is to create a learning environment where every child feels inspired, supported, and excited to grow. With your generous help, I will bring engaging, hands-on materials into our classroom that help spark curiosity and support meaningful learning for my young scholars.

Many of my students are just beginning their educational journey, and having access to high-quality resources—like leveled books, math manipulatives, art supplies, flexible seating, and classroom organization tools—can make a world of difference.

These tools will help me create stations for literacy, math, and creative exploration where students can learn at their own pace and feel proud of their progress.

Your support will help transform our classroom into a vibrant space where students can discover new passions, build confidence, and develop the lifelong skills they need to succeed. Every item donated helps me make learning memorable, meaningful, and full of joy for the bright young minds I serve.
