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

This project will provide essential supplies such as copy paper, science composition notebooks, and colored pencils to support daily instruction and scaffold learning. In addition, erosion tables will allow students to actively explore how natural processes and human activities shape Earth’s surface. Instead of only watching simulations, students will engage in hands-on investigations—building, testing, and observing erosion in real time.

These materials are not extras, they are essential.

They give my students access to the curriculum in a way that is meaningful, inclusive, and equitable. With your support, my students will be able to write, draw, explore, and truly engage in their learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
