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 incredible curiosity, creativity, and resilience. Every day, they come to school ready to learn, explore, and grow—even when resources are limited. They inspire me with their eagerness to try new things and their excitement when they discover something new.

The flexible stools will give them the freedom to move and find the seating that helps them concentrate best—because every learner is different.

And the classroom supplies like mesh pouches and dry erase boards will give them the tools they need to bring their ideas to life, whether they’re writing, creating, or collaborating.

The headphones will help them stay focused during independent learning and online activities.

With your support, these resources will help create a classroom that works for every student—and keeps their love of learning alive.
