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

As we return from winter break, my first grade students are in need of new crayons. Many of our school supplies were not delivered at the beginning of the year, and I routinely give my students a second set of crayons after break. I am in need of 56 boxes of crayons for all of my students to get a new box.

In first grade students use crayons almost every day to express their feelings and show creativity.

Most commonly we use crayons when illustrating our work during the writing process. Students are so proud of their completed work and love to see it displayed in the classroom.
