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

My third-grade dual language students come to school every day eager to learn, grow, and do their best—often with very limited supplies of their own. For many of my students, school is the most consistent place they receive support, structure, and encouragement.

Pencils will ensure every student can participate fully in writing, math, and assessments without interruption.

Dry erase markers will support interactive learning through math problem-solving, language practice, and immediate feedback.

Lysol wipes will help maintain a clean and healthy classroom so students can focus on learning.

Party favors will serve as meaningful rewards for meeting goals, demonstrating positive behavior, and showing growth.

These supplies will remove barriers to learning and help create a classroom environment where students feel prepared, supported, and celebrated. By meeting both academic and social-emotional needs, this project will help my students build confidence, responsibility, and a love for learning.
