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 absolutely love how curious and determined my students are, constantly asking questions and pushing themselves to learn more. The resources I’m requesting, like interactive math tools, will help them build the skills they need to thrive academically and stay excited about learning. My goal for this project is to give them the tools to unlock their full potential, whether that’s mastering a difficult concept or exploring new creative interests. What makes my students special is their resilience and their eagerness to learn, even when faced with challenges, and with these resources, I know they’ll continue to grow and succeed.
