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-year teacher at a Title I school, I’m inspired every day by the resilience, creativity, and potential of my students. They come to school eager to learn and grow, and I want to give them every opportunity to thrive.

This project will help me build a well-equipped, vibrant classroom by providing essential creative tools like a color printer and quick-drying paint sticks.

These resources will allow me to create and print vibrant and colorful small group stations. The tempera paints will allow my students of all abilities the chance to paint. With your support, I can create a space where every child feels empowered, engaged, and excited to learn.
