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

Howdy! I am looking forward to the 2025-2026 school year! I will be teaching 2nd grade math and science at a title 1 school. My students are needing some new things to kick off the school year. Second graders are highly motivated for a chance at receiving a prize from the treasure box. I would love some tangible incentives to put in my treasure box.

I also have requested some sensory items and timers for my calming corner and soccer balls for recess.

My little heroes deserve a happy and rewarding learning experience. Thank you for helping me make it the best school year ever!
