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

Your generous contribution will help create a positive learning environment and give students the resources they need to thrive while creating memorable learning experiences!

These items will make a significant impact on our students’ learning.

The rolling drawers will keep our materials organized and accessible, allowing students to take more ownership of their supplies. The elastic bands for chairs will improve comfort and focus, reducing distractions. Googly eyes will spark creativity during art and STEM projects, helping students stay engaged and excited about learning. And the new books will provide a range of reading materials that cater to all interests and reading levels, fostering a love for reading and boosting literacy skills.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment where every student has the resources they need to succeed, feel comfortable, and stay engaged. With your support, we can make this happen.

What makes my students special is their unique curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to learn. They approach each day with enthusiasm, and by providing the right tools, we can help them reach their full potential. Thank you for considering helping our classroom. Your donation would truly make a difference!
