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

I don't want my students to worry about bringing materials, and I want them to focus on their learning instead. We use paper, pens and pencils in the classroom almost daily.

My students would love to have paper and writing utensils for use in the classroom.

This would mean that my students have access to resources in the classroom and that they will not have to worry about bringing them from home. Students would have these things in the classroom for daily use and even to borrow and take with them if they need them. Students are able to better focus on their work when they do not have to waste time trying to find or borrow paper and writing utensils.

Ms. S.
Grades 9-12
