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 am incredibly proud of my students—they are curious, hardworking, and full of enthusiasm for learning. Each day, they come to class eager to explore new ideas and grow both academically and personally. Their determination and creativity inspire me to provide them with the best possible learning environment.

With this project, I aim to support my students by ensuring they have the resources they need to stay focused and engaged.

The snacks will help keep their energy up throughout the day, allowing them to concentrate on their lessons without the distraction of hunger. The requested markers will provide them with the tools necessary to participate fully in hands-on activities, group projects, and daily learning tasks.

My goal is to create a classroom where every student feels supported and ready to succeed. By providing these essential resources, I can help remove barriers to learning and create an environment where they can thrive. My students are special because they are resilient, eager to learn, and always willing to support one another. With these resources, I can continue to nurture their love for learning and help them reach their full potential.
