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 amazing scholars who are full of energy and curiosity. They love to learn and take part in experiences that help them solidify their learning. My students would really enjoy these fun writing tools because it would give them that extra motivation to get their work done and also help to incentives excellent behavior and work habits. The pencils and pens would be used as a a fun caddy kids can earn throughout the week as a reward for excellent work and behavior. My kids love using fun and cute pens so I think this would create a buzz and excitement in the class.
