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 my students become confident, independent writers! Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will allow me to purchase engaging, teacher-created resources that support students through brainstorming, drafting, revising, and sharing their work. Writing prompts, graphic organizers, and differentiated activities will help me meet students at their individual skill levels while challenging them to grow.

These gift cards will also support more student-centered learning through choice boards, collaborative projects, and independent learning activities.

By giving students more opportunities to explore their interests and take ownership of their learning, we can make writing more meaningful and motivating. Your support will help every student find their voice and feel proud of what they create!
