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 not so quiet students love to write letters to each other. They are always borrowing my color pens to use to write each other letters. This gave me an idea of giving our students different types of pens from color gen pens to markers to regular color pens to be included in our writing table.

I think having an abondance of various pens will encourage my students to want to write and draw more during their free time.

I love the way my students want to encourage each other to write beautiful letters to each other. Please help me make my dreams come true. Thank you so much!
