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

These materials will be used daily to support academic work, classroom routines, and student incentives. Students thrive when they feel supported, organized, and motivated. This project will provide essential supplies like pens and pencils to keep learning moving smoothly. Storage bins will help create a clean, organized, and efficient classroom environment. Snacks will keep students energized and focused throughout the day. Prizes will be used as positive reinforcement to encourage effort and achievement.

Small rewards can make a big difference in student motivation and engagement.

By meeting basic needs and creating a well-organized space, students can focus more on learning and less on distractions

With your support, my classroom will become a space where students feel equipped, encouraged, and ready to succeed.
