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 year has been a huge transition, coming back to in person learning from over a year of virtual learning. It has been a year full of academic progress, joy, and perseverance. I am extremely proud of my students and I would love to celebrate them at the end of the year. Each year I have a small celebration with students where we go around the room and name a positive trait to describe the student. After that we pick 3 prizes to give to the student and we give reasons why they have earned it this school year. I would love your support in making this activity extra special with these awesome prizes.

As the year comes to an end we are running out of some daily and essential materials.

I'd really appreciate your support in obtaining new markers, pens, and magnets so that we can finish the year with all the materials my students have become accustomed to utilizing.
