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 students love writing! We engage in writing in many different ways in our classroom - on paper, whiteboards, and computers!

This project is being used to purchase a new class set of whiteboard erasers and a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to purchase informational, opinion, personal narrative, and fiction narrative writing units.

We use whiteboard daily in our classroom. Whiteboard erasers are an important supply that allow the students to quickly and easily clean their boards, so they are ready to move on to the next task. The writing units will be used to improve the students' writing abilities throughout the rest of this year.
