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 current easel was handed down to me by a previous teacher and it's currently falling apart. Help me give my students more visual and enriching reading and writing lessons with a new teaching easel. We use the easel for EVERY lesson; whether it be to create anchor charts, read books, write mentor texts, etc.

We are also trying to raise our reading levels and having books at home is a must!

My students will transport books from our classroom library to and from home by using the requested mesh bags. Lastly, the book stands will be used to display all our favorite library and mentor books :)
