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

A new school year is just around the corner, and we’re working hard to create a welcoming, organized, and inclusive classroom where every student feels seen and ready to learn. This project will help us set up a space where routines are smooth, materials are accessible, and students feel a sense of belonging from day one.

With your support, we’ll add essential supplies like name tags, labels, binder dividers, and pencil boxes to help keep our learning environment structured and student-friendly.

Chart paper and magnetic clips will make it easy to display student thinking and anchor charts we create together. A cheerful birthday chart will help us celebrate each child, and multi-skin toned bandages will ensure every student feels cared for and represented—even in the little things.

These materials may seem small, but they’ll have a big impact on the way our classroom functions and feels. Thank you for helping us start the year off strong and for supporting the joyful, inclusive learning environment our students deserve!
