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

Hi! My students would love to have a pencil sharpener in the classroom. We used to have an awesome exacto pencil sharpener but it recently broke due to some unfortunate events that occurred in the classroom.

Since then, it's been a struggle to find basic supplies that last.

We tried to use mechanical pencils instead but we haven't been able to find ones of good quality. We want to see if we can get a working pencil sharpener instead.

This would greatly help my students be prepared to learn. Thank you so so much!
