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

Hi! I'm a passionate educator dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging classroom where every student can thrive. What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and the unique energy they bring to our classroom every day. They come from diverse backgrounds, and each one has their own story, strengths, and dreams. The resources I'm requesting will help create a learning environment that is engaging, inclusive, and responsive to their needs. Whether it’s flexible seating to support focus, books that reflect their identities, or hands-on materials that spark creativity, every item will help my students feel valued, capable, and excited to learn.
