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

I work with a great group of learners which include TK through fifth grade students. A large percentage of our students are eligible for free or reduced price lunch and are English Language Learners. My students are resilient, eager to learn, and benefit greatly from engaging, inclusive, and supportive learning environments tailored to their unique needs and strengths.

These flossers make it easy and fun for kids to practice proper oral hygiene, helping prevent cavities and boosting confidence with healthy smiles.

Headbands help students stay focused and comfortable during physical activities. These brushes allow for discreet, quick grooming, especially helpful for students with busy morning routines. A small but mighty tool, hair clips help students feel put together and express their personality with fun colors. Dry skin can be distracting and uncomfortable, especially in colder months. Having skin protectant on hand ensures that students can stay focused, comfortable, and ready to learn.
