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

Many cases of students lacking success in their classrooms have to do with students’ level of preparedness. Having something as simple as pencils, colored pencils, Valentine Stationary kits, crayons, markers, pencil holders, pencil boxes and folders are things that can determine the progress and achievement of the student. School supplies impact the success of the student in ways that most people fail to recognize. In fact, many students are never truly prepared for the day because they come to class lacking supplies, thus leading to a difficult time learning. That said, school supplies play a very important role in education and how students grow and develop, as we discuss below.
