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 an energetic bunch who can sometimes be difficult to motivate. The students do really enjoy when we do our coloring activities.

The coloring pencils from this project will be used to complete projects and colors maps during our learning activities.

Right now we have a limited number of quality colored pencils that I purchased for us. We are sometimes able to borrow colored pencils from the classroom across the hall but they are not of the same quality and are not always available. With this class pack of colored pencils we will be sure to have the supplies we need so that all students can get the work done.
