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

Th school year is coming to an end, and it’s time to prepare for the upcoming school year. The electric pencil sharpeners in the classroom no longer work, so I have requested two electric pencil sharpeners for my students and I to use to sharpen #2 pencils, primary pencils and crayons. Pencils are always a must and need to be replenished on a regular basis, so I have asked for Ticonderoga pencils for my students.

The kids need the essential school supplies to use and succeed.

The Crayola crayons in blue, green and gray are needed because said colors are used often. The students work on various projects and activities that require cutting and pasting. The Elmer glue sticks are definitely a must. I wish for my students to have all the classroom essentials at their fingertips.
