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

Keeping a classroom running smoothly requires more than just lesson plans—it takes the right tools to stay organized, support student creativity, and make learning more efficient. This project includes essential supplies like a thermal laminator, colorful pens and pencils, sticky notes, clipboards, and a desk organizer—all of which will help keep our classroom productive and inspiring.

With gel pens, mechanical pencils, and ballpoint pens in a variety of colors, students can take notes, annotate texts, and express themselves in creative ways.

The laminator will allow us to preserve student work, create reusable learning materials, and display classroom visuals with a polished finish. The clipboard storage and file organizer will help manage paperwork and station materials with ease.

Each item in this project plays a role in building a more structured, expressive, and engaging learning environment. With your support, our students will have the tools they need to stay organized, take pride in their work, and enjoy learning every day.

Thank you for helping us write, organize, and shine!
