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

In my classroom, I strive to create an environment where students feel inspired to learn, create, and grow. This project will provide three essential resources to help support that goal: high-interest books, colorful cardstock, and a sturdy organizer.

The books will enrich our classroom library and give students more opportunities to explore diverse stories and voices.

Access to engaging literature is key to developing strong reading skills and fostering a lifelong love of reading.

The cardstock will be used for a variety of hands-on learning activities, from interactive notebooks to creative writing projects and visual displays. These activities help students engage more deeply with the content and allow them to express their learning in unique and meaningful ways.

The organizer will help keep all of our cardstock and supplies neat and easy to access, which saves time and supports a more efficient, student-centered classroom.

Each item in this project plays a role in building a more organized, creative, and literacy-rich learning environment. With your support, my students will have the tools they need to succeed and shine.
