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

Our students are determined and show an incredible willingness to grow, no matter the obstacles they face. Many come from low-income households, yet they show up each day ready to learn, participate, and support one another. Their drive to succeed, both in the classroom and out of the classroom, inspires me to create an environment where they can develop not just academic skills, but also life skills like organization, responsibility, and teamwork.

The sports equipment organizer stand and ball bags will help create structure and promote responsibility.

By having a clear place for each item, students will learn to care for shared resources, clean up after themselves, and understand the value of organization—skills that translate far beyond the playground.

The universal laptop screen extender will allow individual students to have a larger digital workspace when needed. In addition it will support me in managing both in-person instruction and digital tools more efficiently, especially during lesson planning and while facilitating student learning. With a larger digital workspace, I can monitor activities, track progress, and better prepare engaging lessons that support all learners.

Each of these resources plays a part in building a more organized, efficient, and empowering environment for our students to grow—both academically and personally.
