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 am requesting pencils, post-it notes, crayons, and glue sticks, to provide my students with the resources they need to be successful. They can easily work together, helping each other gain a better understanding of language arts and social sciences. Students can erase and fix mistakes easily.

They will feel as though they are in control of their own learning, making them more confident, self-regulated learners.

The students will be motivated to learn and not worry about having a pencil that is sharpened, They will be excited to learn because they have the necessary tools they need to be successful.
