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 students love using the whiteboards so I need to keep plenty of dry erase markers on hand as they do dry up fairly quickly.

Well made sharpeners and colored paper make for a beautiful classroom and are a basic supply in my classroom.

I like to have several different types of sharpeners on hand in a few areas around the room so students don't need to gather in the same place when sharpening pencils. I can't wait to use my colored paper for presenting our next project on it!

Mrs. Nolen IS 77 Joseph F Quinn School Grades 6-8
