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

I absolutely love my students' curiosity and resilience. They come to class every day with a willingness to explore, question, and grow, no matter the challenges they face outside of school. Their diverse perspectives and eagerness to learn inspire me to create engaging, meaningful lessons that connect to their lives and interests.

Each resource I’m requesting is selected with their needs in mind.

Whether it’s hands-on materials, technology tools, or flexible seating, every item helps create an environment where students feel empowered and supported. These resources allow for differentiated learning, spark creativity, and make abstract concepts more concrete. Most importantly, they help me meet each student where they are and guide them forward with confidence and excitement.

Mrs. Leda The Richmond Pre-K Center - Father Capodanno Grades PreK-2
