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

Please help our kids learn faster by providing a printer, shelf and basic supplies. When they don't have to worry about supplies, they can focus on learning. Frequently in a science classroom, color is essential to help students understand and process complex concepts. Having a color printer will allow us to produce vibrant, engaging visuals and materials that enhance learning and make abstract ideas more concrete. The shelves will be used to safely store student-made models and projects. This organization system helps keep the classroom tidy, protects students’ hard work, and makes it easy for students to access and showcase their creations.

To encourage and motivate students, we provide positive reinforcement through non-candy rewards such as stickers, certificates, and small prizes.

These rewards promote a positive learning environment and help reinforce good behavior and academic effort. Basic classroom essentials like paper, markers, glue, and scissors support daily learning activities and project completion.
