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 ESL students are newcomers entering a United States school, with varying academic strengths. My sixth grade students are more reluctant to take academic risks. However, when I introduce an art medium into the ELA classroom, something magical happens. Reading/writing engagement, peer collaboration, enthusiasm and overall joy increase.

Please help my students enjoy writing friendly letters with a Message in a Bottle project.

Students will learn parts of a friendly letter, read samples of friendly letters and finally write their own letters. The bottles will be used to create sand art designs, while strengthening students' vocabulary of summertime.
