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 curious, creative, and full of potential. They come to school each day to learn, support each other, and overcome challenges with resilience and determination. I admire their willingness to show up each day, even when things get tough. They inspire me daily with their resilience.

The materials I’m requesting will help create a more engaging and supportive learning environment.

I am a current special education teacher going into general education. I do not have a lot of things a general education class would benefit from. Whether it’s play-based tools or classroom supplies, each resource will allow my students to actively participate and access learning in ways that meet their unique needs. These tools will not only build academic skills, but also boost their confidence and love for learning. Your support will bring us one step closer to a classroom where every student can thrive.
