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 pencil organization materials I am requesting are a classroom necessity! We use pencils daily in the classroom and often lose our pencils throughout the school day. We do lots of writing in second grade so having a pencil accessible is must!

The majority of my students come from low-income backgrounds and some speak other languages at home.

I am requesting a pencil dispenser and pencil holders in order for students to always have access to a pencil and so that they have space to keep their pencil when they are not using them.
