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 eager to dive deeper into their learning, and interactive notebooks are the perfect tool to make that happen! We're asking for your help to provide essential supplies like composition notebooks, scissors, and glue sticks so every student can create their own personalized, engaging learning resource.

Interactive notebooks transform traditional note-taking into a dynamic, hands-on experience.

Instead of just passively writing down information, students will cut, paste, fold, and illustrate their way to a deeper understanding of concepts. This active approach helps them organize information visually, make connections between ideas, and truly internalize what they've learned. From creating foldable diagrams in science to building timelines in history or illustrating mathematical formulas, these notebooks will become a vibrant portfolio of their progress and a powerful study tool.

With your generous donation, every student in our classroom will have the chance to experience the benefits of interactive notebooks. You'll be providing them with the fundamental tools they need to become active participants in their education, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. Thank you for considering supporting our project and empowering our students!
