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

This project aims to provide students with basic supplies for our elementary classroom. These quality pencils and sharpening mechanisms will ensure students are well-equipped to engage in our class tasks. These are all quality items here that will surely last the school year and beyond.

Enough students come to school with no pencil and no creative coloring tools that it is necessary to provide them myself.

Imagine the stories they'll share with these pencils or the math problems they'll solve. Imagine the art they'll create with these markers. Consider the ways they will work together on collaborative projects and demonstrate their learning. These essential tools will make the difference!
