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

The school supplies I’m requesting are essential tools that make hands-on learning and active participation possible in the classroom. These supplies allow students to engage in creative projects, group activities, and interactive lessons that go beyond traditional note-taking. For example, glue and tape are vital for science experiments, building models, and collaborative projects that help students apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. Expo markers make it easy for students to demonstrate their thinking and work through problems on whiteboards, fostering a more interactive and engaging learning environment. Having these supplies ensures that all students have equal opportunities to participate and express themselves, regardless of their background.

My goal for this project is to provide a well-equipped and dynamic classroom environment where every student has access to the tools they need to succeed.

I aim to enhance student engagement by offering hands-on experiences that make learning exciting and meaningful. By having these essential supplies readily available, I hope to inspire creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking among my students. Ultimately, my goal is to create a space where students feel supported and motivated to explore, experiment, and develop a deep love for learning.

My students are curious and eager to learn, often coming up with innovative ideas and approaches to the challenges they face. Despite any obstacles they may encounter, my students show resilience and a strong sense of community, always willing to support one another. What truly sets them apart is their passion for exploration and their desire to make a difference in the world. With the right resources and opportunities, I believe they have the potential to become the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and innovators.

I believe in them! I am changing the world one scholar at a time.
