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 how curious, creative, and determined my students are. They come to school each day eager to learn and grow, and I’m constantly inspired by their resilience and enthusiasm.

The index cards will help them stay organized and build strong study habits, especially during reading and vocabulary activities.

The decorative border will brighten our classroom and create a warm, welcoming space where students feel proud and motivated to learn. And the headphones will allow them to focus during independent work and online learning, helping each student learn at their own pace without distractions.

These simple tools make a big difference in creating a positive and productive learning environment!
