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

My students are curious, creative, and full of joy. Every day, they bring a unique energy to the classroom that inspires me to be a better teacher. I love how they support one another, take pride in their work, and find excitement in the smallest moment. Whether it’s crafting a handmade gift or exploring a new summer themed activity.

The Mother’s Day gift supplies will allow my students to express gratitude and love through meaningful, hands-on projects.

These activities build fine motor skills, boost confidence, and encourage empathy as they create with a purpose.

The summer-themed goodies and activities will keep their minds engaged while celebrating the season. These resources promote creativity, reinforce important academic skills in a fun way, and help build positive memories that connect learning with joy.

Together, these materials will support social-emotional learning, creative expression, and academic growth all while making the end of the school year special and memorable for us all.
