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
Pencils, markers, and sharpeners—are essential tools that will greatly enhance my students' learning experiences. Pencils provide the foundation for writing, note-taking, and sketching, all of which are critical for communication and cognitive growth. Markers add a creative dimension, encouraging students to express themselves visually and making projects more engaging. With sharpeners, students can maintain their tools, instilling good habits around organization and readiness that are useful for their overall academic success. Together, these supplies offer a complete toolkit that supports both practical skills and creative exploration.
My goal for this project is to make learning interactive, inspiring, and accessible for every student.
By equipping them with these supplies, you’re not only improving their academic skills but also giving them the confidence to express their unique ideas. Your students are a special group with diverse talents, strengths, and perspectives, bringing vibrancy and curiosity to the classroom. With these tools, you’re helping to foster an environment where each student can thrive, feel prepared, and be empowered to reach their full potential.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
