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 Students

My class is special in many ways. We are a part of an urban school district where the majority of students qualify for free lunch. They students come to school daily in search of new information, experiences, and skills.

My students express the desire to be successful but are often faced with obstacles that They ask questions and are hoping to improve in all their subjects throughout the day.

My students are eager to learn this school year.

Many of my students participate in the backpack program, which sends them home with food over the weekend.

The students received school supplies from local businesses to start off the school year and you could see their excitement and big smiles. I know they would appreciate these new tools in our classroom that would help them become better students and improve learning.

My Project

This project is going to be used to enhance the student's writing skills. Too often the grammar and punctuation is poorly written, and the students will learn by correcting sentences daily. The problem is the students do not use proper writing mechanics, the solution - they will learn how to correct their sentences. My students need an easel, chart paper, and frame to complete morning work - correcting a sentence.

Practice makes perfect even with the written word.

Each morning the students will be given two sentences that are written incorrectly. They will take turns at the board correcting the sentences. Then they will write the corrected sentences into their note books. These sentences will remain on display to help the students with their journal writing.

The water will keep us hydrated as we work.
