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 third grade students are always so excited in August to start the year. They come in the classroom with big, smiles across their faces eager to learn.

What better way to start the new school year than with brand new, colorful pencils and erasers!

I absolutely love putting out a variety of pencils each week for students to choose from to start their day.

My students may not always have the supplies that they need. By providing something small, like a fun pencil just brightens their day and helps them feel prepared.
