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 classroom is dedicated to providing innovative and engaging educational experiences for students, but we are currently short on some essential materials for our collaborative projects.

My students need poster board, chart markers, and a chart stand to enhance their capacity for interactive learning.

These resources play a crucial role in fostering creativity, communication, and teamwork among my students. My students often have to work in teams to create projects in all of their subjects. With your support, I can create an environment where my students are empowered to explore ideas, express themselves, and work together to achieve success on these projects.

Your donation would not only provide us with essential materials but also inspire my students to think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate with their peers.
