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

I absolutely love how resourceful my students are and get things done with little to no complaining, but ask my students what it's like to cut butcher paper for their artwork without having a rack to keep it stable, and they'll wax poetic on how it takes twice as long to get the right size and to cut.

This rack will streamline the process and be so much more efficient in the classroom!

My hardworking students will be able to easily pull out the desired amount of butcher paper and quickly trim it to their specifications! This rack will house our white, black and brown paper rolls for those big painting projects.
