Color Makes the World a Happier Place!

Help me give my students pencil holders and a crayon sharpener! This will help them take better care of their tools and reach their class goal of using their supplies and being more organized.

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

These coloring tools are going to be a real hit with my students! They’ll learn to take care of their stuff while they unleash their creativity. These tools will let them make super colorful pictures to go with their stories, making their work more fun and meaningful. My goal is to help my students understand the importance of taking care of things and being organized with their writing tools. My students love being organized and taking care of their stuff, so this is right up their alley! I’m excited to start the new year and make sure my students become organized and appreciate new things.
