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

The essential writing tools will help my students achieve their fullest potential. We use pencils, dry erase markers and crayons every day. Without them, my students will not be able to complete their assignments. We use the pencils for writing stories and doing math problems such as addition, subtraction, and many other math components. The students enjoy using the crayons to make their pictures come alive through their artistic ability. We use colored paper for our math and English centers as well. Please consider donating to my students, as they will be so appreciative!
