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

Every student deserves to walk into a classroom where they feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. In our classroom, I strive to create a space where students not only gain knowledge but also feel a strong sense of belonging and care. The materials such as wobble seats, ice packs, and prizes for students requested in this project are intended to make our learning environment more comfortable, calm, and motivational for all students.

Your support will directly impact my students’ well-being, helping them feel valued and empowered.

Thank you for considering our classroom and for believing in the importance of creating spaces that nurture not just minds, but hearts.
