My students and I have been using the new resources to bring our celebration to life in both cultural and academic ways. We are incorporating the decorations and materials into a classroom project where students are learning about the history and significance of Cinco de Mayo, while also preparing a festive school event that highlights music, food, and traditions. This has allowed us to connect classroom learning with a real-world celebration that builds pride in culture and community.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials arrive, they were so excited. Their faces lit up as they began to brainstorm how we could use each item to decorate and create an authentic atmosphere for the celebration. Many students immediately jumped in with ideas for setting up, designing, and organizing the event. Their enthusiasm showed me how much it means for them to see their culture recognized and celebrated at school.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, my students are taking the lead in planning different aspects of the Cinco de Mayo celebration, from setting up trivia games about history to preparing decorations and helping run activities during the event. These resources are not only supporting a single day of celebration but also empowering my students to develop leadership, collaboration, and organizational skills. Your generosity has given them the opportunity to showcase their culture proudly, while also growing as leaders in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1746785595099,"projectUrl":"project/colorful-celebrations-learning-hispanic/9084820/","projectTitle":"Colorful Celebrations: Learning Hispanic Heritage Through Cinco De Mayo!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Barragan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9502587"},{"teacherId":9343160,"projectId":9292718,"letterContent":"Our students are extraordinary young people—balancing school, work, and responsibilities at home while striving toward brighter futures.
