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 are motivated and hard working.

My students love school, but without necessary supplies it is difficult to complete tasks.

Our pencil sharpener broke and now we constantly have broken pencils and pencil shavings on the floor. Also, my students love to color and draw, and keep their notes organized by color coding. Most of the markers we have are old and dried out. They would be super excited to get new markers with a variety of colors. Lastly, with a new box of sharpened pencils, my students will be able to complete tasks.
