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 continually inspired by my students’ curiosity, resilience, and enthusiasm for learning. They bring unique backgrounds and experiences that enrich our classroom community. To further support their growth, I am seeking donations for a new classroom rug and headphones.

The classroom rug will create a cozy, inviting space where we can gather for discussions, group activities, and community building.

This will not only enhance their social skills but also foster a sense of belonging. The headphones are crucial for testing and listening to audiobooks during reading time, allowing each child to focus and engage deeply with the material, regardless of their individual learning needs.

My goal is to create a nurturing environment where every student feels valued and empowered to learn. Your generous support will make a significant difference in their educational journey and help me provide the best possible experience for these incredible young learners. Thank you for considering a donation to help my students thrive!
