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

My students loves pencils, especially colorful pencils. However they consistently and constantly want to sharpen their pencils. They especially want to sharpen them during a lesson. That can be very frustrating and distracting because it bothers other students from learning. With two pencil sharpeners, the students can easily sharpen their pencils in the morning before class starts. Two pencil sharpeners will allow the students to cut the time it takes everyone to sharpen them and it will cut the constant distraction during lessons. But lets not forget that the sharpeners need to be labeled! With the oil base markers, we can easily label our sharpeners so students are organized.
