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 my students come to school each day with curiosity and a desire to learn. They are creative, kind, and full of potential, but they need materials that help them stay focused, feel safe, and be successful. The resources I am requesting — including a laminator, printer, diffuser, cordless glue gun, snacks, and name tags — will help make our classroom more organized, calm, and welcoming.

These tools will allow us to protect student work, create fun and meaningful projects, and ensure every child feels seen, supported, and motivated.

Having snacks will help them focus, and name tags will strengthen their sense of belonging. My students deserve a positive environment where they can shine every day!
