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

This year I have a wonderful integrated class of 26 students, more than half who speak a language other than English. As we begin our next literacy unit we will need some supplies to help keep our research organized.

These supplies will allow my students to become bug researchers and be able to learn facts about different bugs.

The folders will help my students keep all their writing and graphic organizers in one place, where it can easily be accessed. The gift card will help purchase additonal resources and graphic organizers, that will help my students grow throughout this unit.

My students are excited to get started on their way to becoming a bug expert!
