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

I teach an incredible group of third-grade students who thrive in an interactive and structured environment. To enhance their learning experience, I am requesting resources that will improve communication, engagement, and organization. A wireless voice amplifier will ensure all students hear instructions clearly, while Post-it easel pads will support visual learning with interactive anchor charts. A barcode scanner will streamline our classroom library system, and a digital wall clock will help students manage their time effectively. Additionally, a slug night light will provide a calming space for students, a mini karaoke machine will encourage confidence in public speaking, and a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card will allow me to access high-quality instructional resources to further enrich my students' learning.

These resources will create a dynamic and supportive learning environment where students can collaborate, stay organized, and build confidence.

My students are eager learners who challenge themselves daily, and these tools will help them succeed academically and personally. Your support will make a lasting impact on their educational journey. Thank you for helping us create an engaging classroom where every student can shine!
