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
My class loves to create, build, and design book reports, math projects, and research posters. These colored pencils are exactly what we need to make our masterpieces come true.
My scholars engage daily in project-based learning activities.
These colored pencil sets will be used throughout the school year to bring their work "to life." I believe it is so much more fun, and students become more engaged when learning and school work turns into projects. My class loves to get creative, and I truly enjoy watching my scholars blossom.
Learning is so much more fun when the students have the necessary supplies to create "magic," in their classroom. Thank you so very much!
