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 first graders are learning about informational writing. We are currently working on writing 'How To' books. I am requesting several fun and creative 'How To' books to get their little creative juices flowing. I want them to see that writing can be fun but to also, how to write in a detailed sequential order. I hope that these books will get them excited to come up with their own creative ideas while still incorporating good writing habits, like using transition words, adding details, and explaining a process in a sequence. Help us learn How To Write!
