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

We are looking for crayons to create with, books to inspire our inner artists (and readers), and for crayon boxes to store our materials in.

My students are just turning 5 years old and love to color!

We need new crayons to create with in the New Year and boxes to keep them oroganized.

Books about crayons will not only inspire them to color- they will also help to bring books alive and inspire future readers. When I read a book out loud to my kids, suddenly they all want to read it!
