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

I love that my students come to school every day full of curiosity, creativity, and the desire to learn. They thrive in a space that is structured, welcoming, and full of opportunities to explore. The laminator will help preserve learning materials we use again and again, making centers and visual aids more durable. Shelves will keep our classroom organized, giving students easy access to the tools they need. Tape and teacher supplies will support daily instruction and classroom projects, while the desk calendar will help us stay on track with goals and celebrations. Each of these items helps create a learning environment where my students can feel confident, focused, and excited to grow.
