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

These materials are basic supplies that students require everyday. As a teacher, we are in constant need of pencils and erasers. My school is also an AVID school so the colored pens come in handy when we are doing critical reading strategies such as marking up the text.

Students need these basic supplies for class everyday and being able to provide them with a pencil on the spot helps them and our class run smoothly and with little disruption.

I greatly appreciate any help that you can provide my students and myself with.
