Celebrating 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
In fifth grade, What I love most about my students is their natural curiosity, creativity, and resilience. They come to school every day eager to learn, ask questions, and explore the world around them. Many of them face challenges beyond the classroom, yet they show an incredible amount of perseverance and heart. My goal is to provide them with a learning environment that not only supports their academic growth but also nurtures their emotional well-being.
This project will supply our classroom with STEM kits and social-emotional fidgets, two types of tools that meet both their learning and developmental needs.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
