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

The copy paper in this project is important because it allows me to give students assignments to show their understanding and to provide students with the necessary materials and lessons they need to do their work. The different colors provide opportunities for fun activities to grab students' attention to specific activities. Teachers make copies daily and this project will prevent me from ever running low on paper.

Students' assignments matter!

When students are able to show their understanding on assignments, it allows teachers to provide the best instruction for their learners. The copy paper in this project gives me the paper I need to make the necessary copies for daily assignments.
