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

My students are all learning to write, and we need the right tools! Having writing utensils that are appropriate for their development is important. The big pencils are perfect for their hands to learn how to correctly hold a pencil.

Writing tools come in different shapes and sizes.

That is why the teardrop crayons and the triangular crayons are great at helping my students learn how to hold crayons/pencils correctly by developing the appropriate grip. The expo markers are for them to use on their work that requires repetition. My students will be so excited!
