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
We are a self-contained classroom filled with bright, energetic learners who bring so much joy and curiosity to every day. My students are full of potential, and their excitement for learning is truly contagious. They always mean well and show great care, but sometimes their enthusiasm gets the best of them—and our classroom supplies don’t always survive the adventure. Despite their sincere apologies and those irresistible smiles, we find ourselves in need of replacing a few essential items that have been broken or worn out.
These tools help us turn learning into a fun and meaningful journey, and your support would make a world of difference.
If you’re able to help us restock or replace any of these items, we’d be incredibly grateful. With your kindness, we can continue to create a classroom where learning feels like an adventure every day.
