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

Student use colored and regular pencils for working on math, science, and social studies content in their journals and for student created content posters.

Students are thrilled using colored pencils for their science and math illustrations of content and will enjoy being able to use a quality sharpener daily to sharpen up their pencils!

This sharpener will last throughout the year since the cutters can be replaced as needed.

They will also save time and frustration from trying to use a sub par sharpener or personal hand held ones. My students have been asking for a new sharpener that works and I hope to be able to provide it.

Thank you in advance for your help!
