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 how resilient, curious, and determined my students are. As a Title I classroom, many of my students face economic challenges, yet they show up each day ready to learn and grow.

These resources will help create a clean, calm, and well-organized environment where they can focus and thrive.

Disinfecting wipes, dusters, and scrapers will help keep our room sanitary and safe. Whiteboard markers, magnetic clips, and organizers support daily instruction and classroom management.

Comfort items like wax melts contribute to a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere for everyone. For our afterschool scrapbooking club, a sturdy lunch bag helps keep snacks fresh, while a wagon makes it easy to transport all our crafting supplies and materials to and from the classroom. Together, these resources will help transform our classroom into a space where every student feels valued, supported, and ready to succeed.
