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

The use of sticky notes and colorful pens are used regularly in our ELA and Science classes that I co-teach. Students use these to make notes of what they have read and use the different colors to signal different things that work best for them. We need the staple remover as we move on in the year new things are being posted on the walls but our kids don't want their work to be messed up when taking it off the walls. The ink is used to print out finale copies of their written assignment.

Our 8th graders have been working on poems and some of them really want to take them home to their parents.

The pencil boxes will be used for an art project to keep all their supplies organized and not get lost.
