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

In my math classroom, having the right tools makes a significant impact on student learning. My students need InkJoy black pens for annotating their work and eraser tops to easily correct mistakes, helping them engage more deeply in the problem-solving process. These specific items encourage a growth mindset by making revisions seamless and ensuring their work is clear and organized. My goal for this project is to provide my students with high-quality materials that support their learning while also making them feel valued. They deserve the best, and I want them to know that their education is worth investing in.
