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 creative my students are—they light up when given the chance to explore and express their ideas. Many of them thrive when working independently, but unfortunately, due to limited classroom supplies, I often have to assign group projects simply because I can’t afford enough materials for each of my 120 students. While collaboration can be valuable, it sometimes stifles their individual voices and creativity. With these resources, every student would have the opportunity to take ownership of their learning, work at their own pace, and bring their unique ideas to life. This support would empower them to engage more deeply, build confidence, and take pride in their work.
