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

Hello Donors, the items in my project are annual items I purchase at the beginning of the year to help my scholars and myself be organized.

A small piece of duct tape is put on each students notebook to help them differentiate which notebook to take notes on.

For example, blue is English and Green is Español.

The numbered sit spots help me identify specific spots for students to sit at for independent reading. Ziploc bags are used for students to carry their independent reading books. I need one for English and Spanish. Pencils, I can never provide enough pencils to my scholars. What is really exciting for me is the potential to have a pencil sharpener specifically for colored pencils. No more broken pencil sharpeners because of the wax from colored pencils. Thanks for taking the time to read about my project.
