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 are an incredible group of curious and creative learners who bring enthusiasm and a love for discovery to the classroom each day. They thrive when given the opportunity to explore new ideas, work with hands-on materials, and engage with diverse resources.

The requested items will provide engaging tools to help my students deepen their learning.

Books like *Cocoa's Cranky Christmas* and *How to Catch Santa* will make reading interactive and enjoyable, building literacy skills and encouraging critical thinking. Classroom tools like bulletin board decorations and reading posters will create a vibrant, inspiring environment. Technology like the USB document camera and flight simulation software will allow students to visualize complex ideas and practice 21st-century skills.

This project aims to provide my students with the resources they need to connect learning with real-world applications, spark creativity, and foster a lifelong love of learning. What makes my students truly special is their eagerness to grow and their excitement for every opportunity to discover something new!
