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

My students this year have individual desks in which they can put items inside. In order to keep organized and minimize sharing issues, I plan to give each student a pencil case they can keep in their desk. In this pencil case, I will provide them with supplies such as markers, crayons, colored pencils, pencils, etc. Additionally, I am in need of an electric pencil sharpener to keep my student's pencils ready to use.

I am hoping to provide my students with these wonderful organizers as soon as I can.

The pencil boxes will keep them organized and responsible for their own materials.
