Celebrating 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

This project is to help replenish my class of all the utensils that students love to use when doing reading assignments. We will us the expo markers for group activities around themes and character maps on the board. The students also like to work in groups and often use the thinner markers for the small white boards. The colorful erasable pens will be to write on their post its in their notebook in order to mark key points and quotes they can pull for writing assignments throughout and after reading the novels.

The students are always happy to see the colors they can use to write.

They are always asking to use the writing utensils my coworkers or I am using. The erasable pens will make it easy for students to be able to correct their work without it looking messy. We look forward to being able to continue to add fun and colors to students reading and learning experience.
