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

Having access to specialty markers like the felt-tip pens will provide my students with an opportunity to add a little pop to all their projects across all content areas. The goal is for the students to become enthusiastic about their projects. Providing them with markers of different colors and textures will make their work look amazing. The students will be so proud of their beautiful hard work that they created.

My students are special because they enjoy learning.

They are a pleasure to teach because they are full of questions. Students in my classroom are always willing to help each other out.
