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 Students

Our school is diverse and an inviting environment! Everyone who visits us loves how friendly and caring our students and staff are. I love the bright faces smiling and eager to learn the lessons of the day! Regardless of what life throws at them, they optimistically make their way to school, knowing that they will have a safe, warm and loving environment waiting for them.

My students mean the world to me and I want them to know that the community supports them.

Please help us empower these students!

My Project

My kiddos love using sharpie markers when creating posters and writing group assignments! They feel very excited when I give them the marker and tell them they are in charge of the writing for their team!

Something as simple as holding a marker empowers them and helps them stay focused!

My children are very artistic and love using a variety of colors and tools to express themselves. I also use the markers when creating charts that will enhance tor learning. Sharpies are very useful in our classroom. We label the room, our supplies and add some color to our day! Thank you for supporting us in our quest for o stay sharpie!
