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 students love art. Friday is their favorite day of the week because they know that it is "Fun Friday" and that we will be doing some sort of art project. I am asking for the twistable color pencils because they are still developing their motor skill and these color pencils will help them color with precision. I am asking for the twistable because this will allow them to independently sharpen the pencils instead of me having to sharpen them. This will allow me to have time to work with small groups instead of spending my time sharpening. I am also asking for skin color so that they can better represent themselves.
