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

Hello! I'm so excited to begin my first year of teaching after four years in education, and I'm dedicated to providing my students with a nurturing environment where they can excel academically and grow emotionally.

As a new teacher, I am passionate about Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and its profound impact on students' development.

I want to ensure my classroom is equipped with everything they need to thrive, including resources that promote empathy, mindfulness, and resilience.

Your generous donations will help us create a dedicated SEL space with flexible seating, calming visuals, sensory tools, mindfulness resources, and engaging books. These resources are essential for creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to navigate their emotions.

Your support will make a significant difference in our journey together as we build a classroom where students not only learn but also grow into compassionate and confident individuals.

Thank you for considering a donation to support our mission of nurturing academic success and emotional well-being in every child.

Grades 3-5
