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 are new, enthusiastic and ready to learn kindergartens. For most of them, everything is a new experience.

I want them to be comfortable and confident when learning to write and draw.

I feel that the Reusable Pockets, Dry erase Markets and the Dry Erasers will help my students practice writing, making lines and drawings without fear of making a mistake since they will be able to correct, edit or start all over.

I want my students to be successful writers and artists. I believe the use of these tools will help them to achieve this goal.
