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 purpose of my project is to begin the school year with the essential supplies my students will need to begin their first-grade year. The mesh bags are for carrying their reading books to and from school. The finger flashlights make reading more fun by allowing us to turn off the lights and shine a light on the pages. The paint sticks provide a cleaner and creative way to add color to our art projects, offering a different approach to traditional painting methods. Lastly, the pencil boxes will help keep our things organized.
