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 a bright, eager group of third graders who come to class each day ready to learn and grow. However, like many classrooms, we face gaps in our curriculum that require extra support and creativity to bridge. By providing a gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers, I can access high-quality, engaging resources that are tailored to my students' needs, helping them master foundational skills, build confidence, and stay excited about learning.

These resources will allow me to differentiate instruction, offering challenges for advanced learners while providing extra support for those who need it most.

My goal is to ensure that every student, regardless of their starting point, can achieve success and feel proud of their progress.

What makes my students special is their resilience and curiosity. They inspire me daily with their determination to overcome challenges, their enthusiasm for new ideas, and their unique personalities that make our classroom a joy. This project will give them the tools they need to thrive and succeed!
