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 care deeply for my young learners because each one brings unique potential, curiosity, and a desire to grow- even when learning feels hard. Many of my students are already struggling with foundational skills, and I'm committed to creating a space where they feel supported, encouraged, and successful. Resources like chairback pockets help keep their tools organized, reducing distractions and allowing them to focus on learning. Finger grips and spacers support their developing writing skills, making tasks feel manageable and helping them build confidence. These simple tools truly make a big difference in their daily learning journey.
