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’m requesting a diverse collection of Spanish books to support literacy development while celebrating my students’ cultures, languages, and interests. These books will help foster a love for reading, build empathy, and strengthen bilingual skills in a way that feels personal and inclusive. Additionally, Many of my students are visual and kinesthetic learners who thrive through movement, creativity, and hands-on exploration. To support their learning, I am requesting hands-on materials, including LED whiteboards, that will help them better understand core concepts through play, teamwork, and active engagement. These materials will be used during centers, small groups, and independent activities to make learning more interactive and meaningful.

To create a more efficient and focused classroom, I am also requesting organization tools that will keep supplies accessible and materials easy to manage.

A well-organized environment enables students to transition smoothly between activities and assume greater responsibility for their learning. I am also requesting a classroom printer to help prepare personalized resources, visual supports, anchor charts, and engaging materials for our lessons. Having access to a printer in our room will save time and allow me to create meaningful learning tools on demand. These resources combined will help create a vibrant, student-centered classroom where learning is active, accessible, and joyful every day.
