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

These items will help me to continually create the best possible learning environment for my students who are eager to learn, grow and explore.

The headphones allow personalized learning, from reading support programs, to interactive math practice with minimal distractions.

The laminate pouches will help me preserve and reuse valuable learning materials, visual aids, and student work, which helps me to save resources over time.

Kleenex ensures we keep our classroom clean and healthy, especially during cold and allergy seasons.

The power strips will help in keeping our devices charged and always accessible, ensuring there is no learning time lost due to dead devices and limited outlets.
