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 the only English 4 teacher at our school, I receive students from all backgrounds and educational levels. My mission as an educator is to foster a welcoming and engaging classroom where every student feels supported in their learning journey. Many of the students in my classes face unique challenges, and the right materials can make a profound difference in their overall success. Unfortunately, our current resources are limited, and there is a growing need for materials that can help reach all diverse learning styles, as well as ensure that every student can participate fully and thrive in the classroom.

With your generous support, I would be able to provide my large and diverse classes with materials such as:

- Functional seating.

-"Fidget toys" to enhance concentration and stress relief.

-Daily supplies for engaging curriculum.

I am confident that with your support, I can enhance the learning experience and better equip my students with the resources they need to succeed. Thank you so much for considering my request. I would be happy to provide any additional information you may need and look forward to the opportunity to make a lasting impact in my classroom.
