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

My middle schoolers bring an infectious energy to every lesson—their willingness to dive into silly games, debate math strategies with passion, and celebrate each other’s “aha!” moments turns our classroom into a vibrant hub of curiosity.

I especially admire how they persevere through challenges, whether it’s a shy student volunteering an answer during a candy-incentivized quiz or a group collaborating to solve a puzzle, knowing a sweet reward awaits.

Their humor, creativity, and growing confidence remind me daily why interactive learning matters.

These resources turn abstract concepts into tangible, joyful experiences, meeting adolescents’ developmental need for fun while driving academic growth.

Ms. Hernandez Intermediate School 181 Pablo Casals Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
