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

What I love most about my students is their resilience, curiosity, and unique potential. Every day, they show up eager to learn, even when faced with challenges outside the classroom. These resources will give them the tools to explore, create, and grow. It will help us with bridging gaps, sparking engagement, and building confidence as a class.

The white boards and markers are a way for ALL students to show their mastery at once, with no one feeling unseen.

The highlighters, pencils, markers and other assets help us to analyze reading passages with a variety of colors for labeling and sorting information. Those who can't afford the many colors will still be able to utilize this vivid, visual effect. The curtains will help make our classroom warm and welcoming.

As their teacher, I’m committed to going the extra mile because they deserve every opportunity to succeed. I just want them to be the best learners they can possibly be without the lack of resources holding them back. Your generosity will impact generations. Thank you!
