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 have a love for art! They enjoy incorporating art into their work. I love seeing them make connections to their language arts work with art. We have colored pencils and crayons- now we just need some markers to outline their artwork.

Markers will make their artwork bold and stand out!

We will share the markers and replenish as needed. We have 46 students in third grade but we don't need that many. My students are kind and courteous. They will be appreciative for the markers we receive. Thank you so much for your donation and time.
