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

There is nothing basic about basic classroom materials. The little things a classroom needs to run smoothly can become big if the classroom doesn't have them. With this project our classroom will get some of the needed basic materials that help a classroom run.

A handsfree sharpener can aid students in independently sharpening their own pencils without wasting important work time.

The stapler can help students and teachers create booklets from students writing. The laminator and laminating pouches will protect classroom charts and learning aids students can use without fear of messing them up.
