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 absolutely love how determined and creative my students are—they come to class each day eager to learn and help one another succeed. The paper and pencils will allow them to brainstorm ideas, practice essential skills, and draft their work in a hands-on way, while the printer will ensure they can bring their creations to life with a polished finish. Binders will help them stay organized, track their progress, and build a sense of ownership over their learning journey. Through this project, I hope to provide my students with the essential tools and structure they need to strengthen their confidence, independence, and collaborative spirit. They’re an incredibly special group, always willing to support their classmates and rise to challenges, and I truly believe these resources will empower them to reach their full potential.
