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

We use our crayons to color every single day. My students absolutely love using all the crayons in the crayon box to make their pictures perfect. When the tip is gone, it's another story! When this happens students tend to throw their crayon in the extra crayon bin or just don't want to use it anymore.

Having a new crayon and pencil sharpener will make sure we will never say goodbye to our crayons.

Not only does this donation give a big class crayon and pencil sharpener, but also gives students a personal one to keep at their desk or take home. How happy will be students be having sharp crayons? SO HAPPY! I want to make sure those crayons live a long life coloring with my students and they will!
