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

Securing these essential supplies will significantly enhance my students' learning experiences and foster their growth in English language proficiency. The addition of headphones and other materials will not only improve their engagement during online activities but also support their participation in classroom tasks. As a first-year teacher managing my own classroom, I am eager to provide my students with the resources they deserve to succeed. Although I have years of teaching experience, I currently lack the necessary materials to create an optimal learning environment.

Your support will enable me to establish a classroom that serves as a safe and inclusive space, where students feel empowered to express themselves and embrace their identities.
