it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I have an amazing group of very hard-working students. Help me eliminate the main source of worry, concern, and time wasted in class, pencils! Yes, just pencils can cause students to lose focus and worry about how they will be able to complete their work. Having a set of pencils that the students can use in class and having enough pencils that they can take home if they need, would eliminate the main reason many students say they have trouble completing their assignments.
It may not seem like much but pencils, yes just pencils, can help my classroom run a lot smoother.
Students also like to feel special with high quality markers that they can use for their projects. It makes such a difference when they have high quality markers where they can showcase their talents.
