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 exude enthusiasm for learning and creativity. With your support, I aim to fuel their passion by providing letter beads, empowering them to create personalized "Words of the Year." These resources will transform their aspirations into tangible symbols, reinforcing spelling, vocabulary, and the art of setting meaningful goals.

My goal is to inspire each student to choose a word that resonates deeply, encapsulating their dreams for the new school year ahead.

Through this project, they'll not only enhance their language skills but also internalize the significance of setting and pursuing goals that matter to them.
