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

Providing pencils and lollipops will serve as a thoughtful and practical combination for Valentine’s Day. The pencils represent encouragement for their learning and creative pursuits, while the lollipops offer a sweet treat to celebrate their hard work and determination. Together, these items help foster a sense of belonging and show students that they are appreciated beyond their academic achievements.

My goal is for every student to feel special, loved, and respected on Valentine’s Day.

By giving them something thoughtful, I want to reinforce the idea that they are valued members of our classroom community. Celebrating holidays in meaningful ways helps strengthen bonds and create positive memories tied to their school experience.

My students are truly extraordinary. They are hardworking, artistic, and consistently demonstrate respect for one another and their teachers. They come from diverse ethnic backgrounds, bringing a rich variety of perspectives and experiences to the classroom. Whether excelling in athletics, showing reliability in their work, or tackling challenges with determination, each student contributes to making our class a supportive and inspiring environment.
