Celebrating 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 is all about making world history come alive — through a fun, flexible, and welcoming classroom space! We’re asking for a variety of supplies to help transform our room into a place that excites and engages learners. These items will support our learning journey from ancient civilizations to modern-day connections. Here’s what’s included:Mini green pencils and pencil sharpeners for writing like a historian — in style. Magnetic bookshelves to keep our history texts front and center. LED lamps and a galaxy projector to set the scene for quiet reading, journaling, and space-themed ambiance. Eucalyptus-themed bulletin boards and positive signs to create a calming, organized space. Gold binder clips, pens, and file folders to keep our research and documents royally sorted. Globe stress balls for geography fun (and a little relief during test prep). Rubber duck presidents because every classroom needs a squad of mini commanders-in-chief. Flower floor pillows to create comfy corners for deep thinking and storytelling. Together, these tools will make our room a place students want to be — where they feel safe, inspired, and excited to learn about the past.
