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 demonstrate creativity and enthusiasm when it comes to learning, but need the right tools to be successful. The writing journals are simple and colorful, which can support students in doing their drawings and letter formation. Some of my students also have difficulty holding a pencil, therefore pencil grips will support students in writing sentences. Moreover, my students need inspiration, and at times, it can be at their desk, the library, outside, or even at the carpet with the new lap desks they will receive.

My students have wonderful ideas and an unlimited imagination, please support them in recording these creative stories onto paper with the right accommodations.
