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 kindergarten students love learning and are so excited when they learn to write. It is great to see them discover a newfound love of writing. It is exciting to see their eagerness to write as much as possible.

For many students this is their first time ever being exposed to writing and these materials offer a fun and creative way to introduce or enhance their writing skills.

The writing journals will work perfectly for students so that they can illustrate their ideas in the blank space as well as use the lined space below as a guide for their writing. The pencil grips are engaging and will help them learn to hold their pencils correctly.

The jumbo pencils are great for children in the early stages of writing development. The X-Acto pencil sharpener will help keep those pencils sharpened and ready for writing.
