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

One of the most difficult subjects to teach is Writing. Writing in an academic setting is one of the most important skills a student will have moving on to college. I want to provide students with the materials and tools they will need to become successful writers.

Items like sticky notes will be used to help teach students how to write with confidence and purpose.

Other items like the HDMI cord I am asking for will also help me instruct students on how to write. I have selected Ticonderoga Wood-Cased Pencils so students have the best materials for writing. Items like Laminating pouches and an HDMI cord help my writing instruction by giving reusable tools and access to instruction.

The goal of this project is to give students access to writing without the distraction of a lack of material.
