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 would like to welcome my 8th grade students with special back to school gifts. These cool multi-color pens will make writing fun. Studies show that people learn better when using colors. Multi-color pens are optimal for note taking. In addition to the pens, having a mechanical pencil will provide students with an opportunity to continuously stay on task. It also avoids distraction from having to get up and sharpen their pencil.

Having fun writing utensils will make learning engaging.

Often times, students come to school unprepared.

Parents spend a large amount of money on school and P.E. uniforms and costly backpacks. There is not enough left for basic school supplies. For some, having travel size Kleenex is a basic need for allergies.
