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 that my students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and many face challenges outside of school, but they show up each day ready to grow. The supplies in this project like paper, markers, glue, and folders will help them explore topics they care about through hands-on projects. These resources will let students choose how they learn and how they show their learning, which builds confidence and excitement. With your help, they’ll have the tools they need to think big, be creative, and take pride in their work.
