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 and eager to learn my students are, especially considering they come from a low-income community and most are English learners. Despite the challenges they face, they bring energy, creativity, and a strong desire to succeed.

The books will help them improve their reading skills and open doors to new ideas.

The posters will make learning more engaging and help them connect with the material in a visual way. The bookshelf will keep everything organized and accessible, creating a welcoming space for all students.

These resources will provide the support they need to thrive and succeed in their learning journey.
