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

At the beginning of each school year, it is essential that each student can have all the materials they need to perform well. The pencils are necessary as the children use them so much and as a Title I school, we often do not have enough funds to buy them. The electric pencil sharpener is vital since there are many students, we save time. Glue sticks are important to my class as we do a lot of art and science projects. The lanyards allow my students to have their lunch cards close at hand since they constantly get lost, so we have everything much more organized. All these materials will allow us to organize ourselves much better and have an excellent start to the school year.
