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

Sixth grade is a big year, both academically and personally, and it sets the tone for each student's middle school experience. Having the right supplies helps create a space where they can feel ready, supported, and excited to learn.

Every resource helps us build a classroom where they can stay focused, express themselves, and grow into confident learners.

Basic supplies like notebooks, pencils, and erasers help them not worry about being unprepared and focus on being students and their learning.

I strive to create an engaging classroom where everyone feels included. Every item helps make our space one where learning and growing are a priority each day.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
