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 love that my students are bilingual and will be able to process all new information in two languages! Being able to sit and explore new activities on a new, clean rug will be such a positive experience for us! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement helping me create an environment that will be warm and inviting! My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given ample space to work on it.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
