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

Hello! Thank you so much for taking a look at our class project! I am in need of resources for my students such as crayons, markers, writing utensils, and incentives! The students love collaborative work but it takes a lot of material for them to be able to tap into their creative sides.

With your help, students will be motivated to use these new tools and work hard at creating beautiful artwork connected to the content.

The stickers, patches, and pins are incentives for students to use to express themselves. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read about our project!
