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

My children love to write. They love to write new words and create stories. The use of new pencils, erasers, highlighters, and colorful pens would make the writing fun for them.

When learning new high-frequency words, my students enjoy using whiteboards.

The lined boards will help them to write the words using their best handwriting. We are always in need of dry erase markers because they get used so much.

The electric pencil sharpener will make my job easier to keep my kids busy with their story writing.
