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

Students need markers in the classroom for various reasons, including increased engagement, quick assessments, and flexible writing opportunities. Markers are a fun and engaging tool that can make learning more exciting for students of all ages. They allow quick and easy assessments, enabling teachers to see student work and provide feedback quickly. Additionally, markers provide a flexible medium for writing, drawing, and brainstorming, fostering creativity and allowing students to experiment with different idea. Markers are an excellent way to bring colorful ideas to life in the classroom by making learning more enjoyable and effortless.
