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 school is a Title I school and frequently my students come without basic supplies needed in the classroom such as pencils, dry erase markers, dry erase erasers, a sharpener. My classroom pencil sharpener frequently only lasts about 1 year. These supplies would help supplement the supplies needed in the classroom on a daily basis. The small dry erase boards are used across all subjects on a daily basis so the students remain actively engaged in all aspects of instruction. The refillable markers allow for less waste while filling a daily supply need in the classroom.
