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

The primary composition notebooks and half cut notebooks are crucial resources my students urgently need to enhance their daily learning experiences. These notebooks are designed for drawing pictures with the pencils, coloring those pictures with the crayons and showing their knowledge of all different academic subjects. The notes compiled in these notebooks become valuable study materials for homework and various projects, helping students deepen their comprehension of the subjects.

The students would greatly appreciate having these notebooks as tools to improve their daily learning and success.

Furthermore, these notebooks encourage organizational skills among students, contributing to their academic success and preparing them for college and career.
