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, in this project I have included a variety of tools that will enhance our learning in the classroom.

For example, I included a heavy duty pencil sharpener so students always have their pencils ready to write and complete tasks.

I also included an electric stapler, which will be a game changer since it will be able to staple up to 45 pages without jamming. It will be used to put packages together to help us with our learning. I also included small drawer carts where I plan to store student supplies such as pencils, erasers, index cards, Post- its and so much more. Finally, I also included a drill that will help me put items together around the classroom, so students can have a beautiful and welcoming environment as I add items to our room. Thanks in advance for your support in making this project a reality.
