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

Everyday we are trying to sharpen our brains, but we can't do it with dull pencils. I have gone through many, many pencil sharpeners, but finally found one that will last. Please help us get this sharpener that knows when to stop. The kids can't over sharpen a pencil, because this one stops.

There is an epidemic in our classroom of missing scissors.

We don't know where they went. We have sent out search parties, but can't find them. Help us get some new scissors. These aren't too small. They aren't too big. They are just right.
