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 my history classroom, I encourage students to think critically, make connections, and reflect on the past in meaningful ways. To help them take ownership of their learning, I want to provide each student with a dedicated notebook to create their own history portfolio. These portfolios will serve as a place for them to document their learning, analyze historical events, and express their thoughts through writing, sketches, and primary source reflections.

Unfortunately, many of my students don’t have the resources to purchase their own notebooks.

With your support, I can provide every student with a high-quality notebook, ensuring they have a personal space to track their progress and develop a deeper understanding of history.

Your generosity will help bring history to life in my classroom, giving students the opportunity to create something meaningful that they can look back on for years to come. Thank you for helping my students become engaged historians!
