Celebrating 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 full of energy—they thrive in environments where they feel inspired and organized. I love how they light up when they’re given the tools to express themselves and take charge of their learning space. The lamps will create a cozy and focused atmosphere, helping students feel more at home in our classroom. The crayon color storage and bins will keep materials easily accessible, encouraging independence and responsibility. The hot glue gun will support hands-on projects that build critical thinking and teamwork. Every item in this project is chosen to help my students learn, create, and grow in a space that feels safe, structured, and inspiring.
