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

"Explore, Create, and Learn" is a classroom initiative designed to gather essential materials to build vibrant, hands-on learning centers. These centers will support playful, engaging activities that help my kids develop foundational skills through exploration and creativity. By incorporating tools like kid-friendly scissors, jumbo crayons, glue guns, laminating pouches, and colorful file folders, students will have the opportunity to express themselves artistically, build fine motor skills, and engage in independent and small-group tasks that promote critical thinking.

This project will transform my classroom into an organized, inspiring space where students feel free to imagine, experiment, and grow.

With your support, we can create an environment where learning feels like play—and every child feels empowered to explore their potential. Thank you for helping bring this vision to life!
