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

This year our school is focusing on writing. Something easy for some and difficult for others. Students are having different engaging ways to advance in writing. In our first grade class we use a lot of pencils. Because they break, get lost or I don't know, but we use a lot. We also use dry markers with small whiteboards and laminated sheets, which are also easily damaged. For this reason we want you to help us have the necessary materials for when my children need them to complete their work.

Writing is awesome!
