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 from a low-income community. Because resources are limited, we constantly struggle to obtain specific tools for students' learning development, specifically writing. Recently, our school district has limited our school budget, which has prevented the purchase of certain items, such as writing tools.

The requested items are adaptable pencils for students who struggle with writing.

This pencil is crucial because it helps shape the hand and allows for proper spacing. It will make a big difference for students with intellectual, visual, and physical disabilities. I appreciate your consideration.
