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

Everyday students are in need of different materials to be successful. Unfortunately, these materials tend to run out throughout the year and students end up feeling anxious about not having what they need. My goal is for my students to never have to worry about materials. Their only focus should be about their learning and their personal success.

By having the essentials, they are given the opportunity to feel ready, and motivated, to try their best everyday!

My students are rock stars and I have seen how much they are capable of. I know that they can make anything work even when tools, resources, and materials are scarce. However, if I can make their learning a bit easier, and more engaging, by providing these essentials, I know there is nothing that can stop them!
