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 new school year is exciting for so many reasons, one being brand new school supplies! While many kids come to school excited to unpack their new supplies, there are some who don't get to choose the supplies with the bright, fun designs because they are more expensive, and some who don't come with supplies at all.

Help me make sure that our classroom pencils come home to their owners this year!

Our classroom last year did a lot of writing and used marker boards daily, and my supply of pencils and dry erase markers was depleted. Our classroom is full of bright and colorful items, and I hope that by having holders on each desk for pencils and having fun colored pencils to use, our classroom will not go through as many pencils this year.
