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

Items such as notebooks, pencils, markers, whiteboards, and erasers will be perfect for helping my students with writing. From writing sentences to paragraphs to their own stories! Anything that is toy or play related will help with building relationships and making teams in our classroom as they will get to do with each other by building towers and other types of team work activities.

My goal is to have writers exiting my first grade classroom.

I know I can achieve that by obtain all the tools that we need from the beginning of the school year.

What makes my students special is that they never give up and they are always ready to learn. The amount of writing growth I have seen this year in my students is incredible! They just finished working on an informative writing that they made into a book.
