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 my students because they come to school each day eager to learn, grow, and try their best. Their curiosity, creativity, and excitement make our classroom a special place where learning happens every day.

Pencils, post-it notes, and highlighters are simple but powerful tools that help my students stay engaged and organized.

Pencils allow them to practice writing and problem-solving with confidence. Post-it notes encourage active learning by helping them mark important ideas, ask questions, and share thoughts during lessons. Highlighters help students focus on key information, build reading comprehension skills, and make important concepts stand out.

These resources will give my students the tools they need to stay involved, build independence, and succeed in the classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
