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 unique curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, which inspires me every day. The sensory/fidget toys will provide a calming outlet for those who need it, fostering focus and emotional regulation. Additionally, the bookshelf and cursive letter banner will transform our reading area into an inviting space, encouraging exploration and a love for literacy.

My goal for this project is to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.

What makes my students truly special is their resilience and eagerness to grow, despite facing various challenges. With your support, we can create a nurturing space that ignites their passion for learning and unlocks their full potential.
