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

Help me give my students the writing tools they need to build confidence and creativity! This project will provide sentence starter paper, dry-erase markers, and personal whiteboards—essential materials that support writing in an engaging and hands-on way.

Many of my students are still developing their writing stamina and sentence structure.

The sentence starter paper will guide them with proper spacing and alignment while helping them organize their thoughts. The dry-erase boards and markers offer a reusable, low-pressure space for students to brainstorm, revise, and practice their writing skills daily.

These tools will not only make writing more accessible but also more fun—encouraging every student to find their voice and grow as a writer.
