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

Each of my students have a unique preference about which writing instrument they prefer to write with. When they each have their favorite writing tool, they are so much more excited to push themselves to learn as much as possible.

These pencils, pens, and sharpies will help make my students excited about their assignments and projects and give them the materials they deserve.

Because of the decreased budgets in schools, my students usually receive the cheapest possible materials, but these resources will allow them to have the quality resource that prove to them that they and their learning is important.
