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

As a dedicated educator, I’m always looking for ways to make learning more engaging, hands-on, and meaningful for my students. This year, I’m working to create more reusable, interactive materials — from laminated learning stations to cut-and-create activities — but I need your help to make it happen!

For our upcoming Social Studies projects, I’m in need of the following supplies to make these learning experiences as impactful as possible:

• Scissors (for crafting and cutting project materials)

• Laminating Machine & Laminating Pouches (to create durable, reusable resources)

• Construction Paper (for visual projects and displays)

• Staplers & Binder Clips (for organizing student work)

• Binders (to keep projects and materials neat and accessible)

• TeachersPayTeachers Gift Cards/Resources (for purchasing ready-made, high-quality project resources to save time and ensure we have the best materials).

These supplies will allow me to create engaging activities that allow my students to explore Social Studies in interactive ways, from building models and timelines to organizing research and creating collaborative displays.

With these items, I can build reusable games, durable visuals, and hands-on resources that will benefit students all year long and beyond!

Every donation — big or small — makes a difference.
