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

As a dedicated educator, it's important for me to enhance our learning environment however possible.

As you may know, a well-designed and aesthetically pleasing environment can have a profound impact on students' engagement, motivation, and overall learning experience.

By creating a visually stimulating space, I aim to foster creativity, inspire curiosity, and cultivate a sense of pride in our learning environment. Let's get our kids excited about History!

Unfortunately, the budget constraints make it difficult for my classroom to be a vibrant and inviting space. This is where your support comes in. Your generous contributions can help make our room a cool and chill place to learn.

I would like to decorate our classroom with colorful and educational decoration/map curtains that can adorn our walls and windows. Also, decorative lighting can provide soft, warm lighting options to create a cozy ambiance and reduce eye strain during classroom activities. The writing desk and organizer will be a place of honor for the "writer of the week".
