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

Writing utensils are a definite need in our classroom. Pencils are a must in our classroom. Somehow, we never seem to have enough pencils to last us through the school year. We are constantly writing and re-writing.We write, we erase and we use pens to finalize our writing assignments.

We need pens, pencils, erasers and pencil grips for our daily writing.

We write and make every effort to improve our writing skills. These pencil holders will assist in making sure we hold our pencils in a way that will allow the writing process to be smoother. Obviously we make mistakes, therefore, these eraser will definitely help us make the necessary changes.
