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 need primary writing paper and pencils to help them become successful authors and illustrators. The notebooks will help them demonstrate their growth as writers over time. The paper will help them publish their writing into stories, and the pencils will help them to write and illustrate their stories.

My goal for my students is to become confident writers.

We will be doing a lot of writing to help build them towards this goal. These supplies will help us accomplish this goal. I am excited to see what my students write this year.
