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

This upcoming school year, I’ll be teaching 4th grade dual language (English & Spanish), and I couldn’t be more excited! My students are energetic, curious, and creative thinkers who thrive in a well-organized and engaging environment.

To support their growth and keep our classroom running smoothly, we need essential materials that will help us stay organized, protect important learning tools, and create resources we can reuse throughout the year.

With your support, I’m hoping to receive laminating pouches and a paper trimmer to make durable hands-on activities, classroom labels among other things. Sheet protectors and plastic folders will help organize student work and learning centers, while classroom caddies will keep supplies tidy and accessible. These, along with a few other key items, will make our classroom more efficient, student-friendly, and ready for success.

By protecting and organizing our materials, my students can focus on what really matters learning, growing, and building confidence every day. Your generosity will make a lasting impact in our classroom. Thank you for helping me create a space where learning truly sticks!
