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

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and the unique spark each of them brings into the classroom every day. They come with diverse experiences, perspectives, and dreams, and it's a privilege to help guide them as they grow academically and personally. Whether they’re asking thought-provoking questions or supporting one another through challenges, they constantly remind me why I chose this profession.

Each writing resource I’ve selected is intentionally chosen to help nurture their potential in different ways.

Every resource brings us one step closer to a classroom where every child feels seen, supported, and excited to learn.
