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

Our school is requiring each class to use their own copy paper for any copies that we will need weekly. We will have to create Donor Choose projects for our paper or ask parents to donate to our classroom.

I am asking for Tru-Write pencils from Ticonderoga for my kindergarteners to use during writing.

These pencils are triangular in shape are designed for beginning learners with pencils. The kids will be able to grip the pencils correctly with their hands. The pencils are also larger in size for easier grip.
