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 need pencils to fully participate in math lessons every day. Writing, drawing diagrams, and solving problems all require a reliable pencil in hand. Without enough supplies, some students struggle to keep up.

Providing pencils ensures that every student comes to class prepared and ready to learn.

It helps build their confidence and independence, allowing them to focus on understanding math concepts rather than sharing or borrowing supplies.

With your support, my students will start the year off strong and engaged. These simple tools will make a big difference in their ability to practice, grow, and succeed in math.
