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

My students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. They thrive when learning is fun and when their hard work is recognized and celebrated.

The materials in this project—scented pencils, colorful pens, cute erasers, and engaging writing tools—will help keep students motivated and excited about completing their work.

Sensory items like stress balls and puffer balls will support students who need help staying focused and managing their energy throughout the day.

Raffle tickets will be used as part of a classroom reward system, allowing students to earn entries for positive behavior, effort, and academic growth. This adds excitement and builds a strong sense of community.

With these resources, I can create a positive environment where students feel encouraged, focused, and proud of their achievements.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
