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

I love my 35 students for their curiosity, creativity, and determination to succeed. Each one brings a special spark to our classroom, making it a place of growth, joy, and endless potential. Despite challenges, they show up eager to learn and thrive best with hands-on, engaging tools.

The pencils and copy paper will support their daily writing and classwork needs, ensuring they’re always ready to learn.

Dry erase markers and erasers will be used for small group activities, quick checks for understanding, and interactive lessons where they can easily show their thinking. These tools promote participation and make learning more immediate and collaborative.

Snacks will serve as daily incentives to encourage positive behavior, celebrate effort, and keep motivation high. When students feel seen and rewarded for their hard work, they stay more focused and excited about learning.

These items will help me create a learning environment where students feel prepared, encouraged, and empowered. With your support, they’ll have the tools they need to grow academically, emotionally, and creatively.
