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

Today's students need a host of tools to help them along with their learning path. Next to using technology, hands on means of trial and error are still important for elementary children's growth.

The use of dry erasers and white boards has opened up many a students eyes to both the physical and artistic experiences of education.

For teachers, their use is unlimited.

Along with the protective sleeves, my students will be able to utilize their markers to the fullest. And, as a reward or when needed, the fidget poppers will bring calmness to the room.
