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

In our classroom, tiny hands are busy doing big things! From learning to read their first words to tackling new math skills, my students show up every day ready to grow. But they need some key tools to help make that happen.

We’re asking for classroom basics like dry erase markers, TIME for Kids magazines, phonics books, number lines, and cleaning supplies to keep our space fresh and focused.

We’ll also use resources from Teachers Pay Teachers to create customized lessons for our beginner readers. These materials will keep learning hands-on, lessons exciting, and our classroom running smoothly.

My students are bright, determined, and full of potential. With your help, we’ll have everything we need to support their big dreams—one tiny hand at a time!
