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

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity, and the joy they bring into the classroom each day. They are full of energy, eager to learn, and deserve a space that supports their growth in every way—academically, emotionally, and socially.

The items on this list were carefully chosen to help them thrive.

Doodle pads and fidget toys provide a creative outlet and help students who need movement stay focused. Books and ink pads encourage a love for reading and early literacy, while dance scarves bring music and movement into our lessons, making learning more engaging and fun.

To celebrate their milestones, I’ve included birthday hats and bracelets—because every child deserves to feel special on their big day. Cardstock paper, sheet protectors, and clipboards help us stay organized during group activities and center time, while Expo spray keeps our materials clean and ready to reuse.

A clean environment is essential for learning, so tools like the manual sweeper, broom and dustpan, and command broom grippers will help maintain a tidy classroom that students can take pride in.

Each item supports a classroom where students feel valued, focused, and excited to learn. Thank you for helping us create that space.
