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

It’s hard to believe we’re nearing the end of another incredible school year! My students have worked so hard—learning, creating, building friendships, and growing each day. As we enter these final months, we’re finding that many of our everyday classroom supplies have been well-loved, well-used, and are now running low.

This project is designed to help us gather a few much-needed odds and ends to keep our classroom running smoothly through the last exciting weeks of school.

From small tools that keep us organized, to materials that spark creativity, to little items that help with day-to-day routines—these final touches will make a big difference.

I’m keeping the list flexible so that I can quickly replenish the supplies that best meet our immediate needs, whether it’s materials for art projects, hands-on learning activities, end-of-year celebrations, or simply making sure everyone has what they need to finish strong.

Your support will help my students end the year feeling proud, prepared, and celebrated for all they’ve accomplished. Thank you for helping us wrap up our year with the same enthusiasm and care we started with—you’re truly part of our classroom community!
