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

Learning to write letters and numbers can be challenging for many young students. Giving students different types of writing utensils such as dry-erase markers and whiteboards keeps students engaged longer, which leads to better success. New whiteboards, dry-erase markers, and erasers will help my students develop writing skills. The cleaner helps keep the whiteboards nicer, for longer and will allow me to use the whiteboards in future classes. The people set makes playing with Lego Duplo bricks more imaginative. Students can use the people to pretend to work in the community. Thank you, for your consideration.
