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 Students

How can you stay sharp? Well my students need sharp pencils to stay sharp on their school work.

My students are loving kids who really want to learn and explore.

Our school is located in a large city and most students are from lower income families. I have a wide range of learning abilities within my class but all are bright, young, achievers.

My Project

I envision these pencils and pencil sharpeners reducing the amount of down time we have because of broken pencils. We will be able to keep the flow of the lessons going with out lead falling out of pencils and students getting up to consistently going to the sharpener.

This project will improve my classrooms focus and flow.

We are always pausing because someone does not have a pencil or the sharpener will not work. I believe we will have more academic focus if we have working tools.
