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

I love how curious, creative, and determined my students are. Every day, they come ready to explore, ask questions, and grow. They take pride in their work and are always eager to learn in ways that are hands-on and meaningful.

To support their learning, I’m requesting a few essential supplies that will help us stay organized and creative while being mindful of our environment.

These resources helps create an engaging, structured, and eco-conscious learning environment. With them, my students can take pride in their work, stay organized, and express their creativity—all while developing habits that care for both their learning and the planet. I will continue using these materials until I can't anymore!
