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

Kindergarteners are just learning how to write and hold their writing utensils. Short pencils and crayons are designed to help little hands learn how to properly grasp writing utensils.

I want to offer my littles the best start to the school year by making sure that they have the tools they need to be successful.

I have selected the crayon rocks that are designed for little hands to create amazing artwork. My students often come to school without the tools they need to write and color. I would love help getting their year off to a great start.
