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 students are creative, energetic, and full of personality. I love how they come in each day ready to learn and grow. As a second-year teacher, I’m working hard to give them a classroom that’s clean, organized, and inviting.

The headphones will help them stay focused during independent work and online programs.

The crayons will let them express themselves through colorful, hands-on activities. The remaining supplies will support our routines and create a learning environment where students feel comfortable, confident, and ready to do their best every day.
