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

In our kindergarten classroom, every child deserves to feel represented and celebrated. At this exciting stage, children are exploring their identities and discovering the world around them. Providing essential classroom supplies—like markers and crayons—is key to creating a positive, inclusive, and empowering learning environment where every child can thrive. The markers and crayons will help my students express themselves and engage in creative learning. These materials will allow students to engage in creative activities that support their growth and self-expression.

The goal of this project is to ensure that every student has the tools they need to express themselves and grow academically.

By fostering an inclusive classroom where every child feels seen and valued, we can help them build confidence and develop important skills.
