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 in need of an electronic pencil sharpener for our classroom! We waste a lot of class time on hand sharpening pencils and fiddling with an ineffective electric sharpener. The students often are frustrated and distracted by the sharpening process. Additionally, we are looking for flexible seating for small-group instruction.

My students work extremely hard to be successful in our bilingual school, and a pencil sharpener and comfortable small group seating would go a long way to building an inviting classroom!

We will use both tools daily and continue to strive to fulfill our potential as students and educators.
