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 hard working and always eager to learn new things. My students in AP Calculus are all future STEM majors and are working hard to learn AP Calculus so that they can all pass the AP Calculus exam. Over the course of the year I have realized that they all enjoy color coding their notes but since they don't have colorful erasable pens they are unable to erase their notes or assignments when they make a mistake which keeps them away for color coding everything. I teach at a low-income high school so my students are unable to purchase erasable pens.

If I am able to give each student a pack of erasable pens they will be able they will be able to annotate and color code all their notes and assignments.

This will help them as they study for the AP Calculus exam. Please help give my AP Calculus students these pens that they can use for their notes and assignments.
