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
I love how curious and joyful my students are. They come to school each day excited to learn, support one another, and strive to do their best, even when things feel challenging.
Each resource I’ve chosen supports their learning in meaningful ways.
Board games will help strengthen their critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills while making learning a fun and engaging experience. Febreze plug-ins will help create a clean, welcoming classroom environment where students feel comfortable and focused. When the classroom feels inviting, students are more eager to participate and learn.
These resources bring both joy and structure to our space, and that makes a big difference in helping all students thrive.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
