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

Being the school librarian I see every child in the school. With budgets being cut all over I am planning things for the rest of this year and looking to get supplies for next year as well. We love to do makerspace and library projects as well as color our stories in the library. There is nothing better than watching my students use their imagination and be creative.

I know my students will love to see new crayons and colored pencils along with new holders available for them as well.
