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

Imagine writing a story, making a mistake, and ripping your paper every time you erase. Without these high quality journals, the students will be forced to use newsprint that tears easily. We work in an inner-city school and have four first grade classes who are learning Spanish, Chinese, and English.

Our school is a public school in California, and we will not get any money for materials.

Our school has three different language strands of instruction: Spanish, Chinese, and English. All the strands have second language learners. They need to draw a picture first and then write about their picture. This approach really helps our students whose first language is not English. At the same time, they have to be aware of letter formation so that their stories are legible.

My Project

Our first graders will benefit from the journals that have colored lines to write in with a space above for a picture. The lines are red at the bottom signifying to the students to stop there. There are also lines on the other side for students who want to write more. We need 320 journals for four first grade classes (80 students). Students go through one journal per quarter, resulting in four journals per student.

In all other grades, we can make our own journals for the students or use inexpensive ones.

However, first grade needs the colored lines which are too expensive to reproduce. There is a lot of erasing and the homemade journals tear, easily frustrating a first grader. Getting journals already made is our most cost-effective option. Your help will ensure that our first grade students continue to write wonderful stories that support their pictures and also have good handwriting.
