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

The resources I’m bringing into my classroom are carefully chosen to create a learning environment where every student feels supported, valued, and empowered. From hands-on math tools and visual aids to flexible seating and organizational materials, each resource plays a part in helping students engage with content in ways that match their learning styles. These tools will not only support academic growth by making math more accessible and interactive, but they'll also foster a sense of belonging—showing students that their comfort and confidence matter. By creating a space that is well-equipped, inclusive, and designed with intention, I’m setting the tone for a classroom where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and grow both as learners and individuals.
