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 Students

My students are such a fun and lovable group! Not only do students come from varying ethnic backgrounds, but also from different parts of the world! They've enjoyed learning about each other's cultures. In doing so, they've come to understand that being different is something to be embraced!

My students are hard-working, creative kids who all learn differently and at different levels.

If you take a tour of our classroom, you will see my students working with iPads and computers. They love being able to incorporate technology in their learning. They thrive on differentiation and tracking their learning.

My Project

My students need access to essential school supplies that will help facilitate their learning and create wonderful memories. They will use post-it sticky pads to help brainstorm and express ideas. They will use baskets to obtain supplies from. My students will use tape and staplers to help create projects.

As the school year progresses, my students will create fun projects they will be proud to keep and cherish forever!

By donating, you will help my students have easy access to materials and enhance their creativity. You will also help them develop out of the box thinking as projects will be created mainly by them.
